Looking for housing in Sac/Citrus Heights/Carmichael area
Hey there! I wanted to start putting out some feelers. I'm looking for a 1-2 bedroom place, preferably a house, for a long-term lease. My max budget right now is $1600 if 2.5x income requirement, and $1900 if 2x the requirement at current income. I have consistent, verifiable income and will be receiving a guaranteed raise in June to further increase my income to about $5k/month. I am looking to move anywhere between end of June - end of August.
Positives: it is just me and my kid, so no roommate drama. We live very clean, chill, responsible lives and will ensure to take care of wherever we end up finding. I can provide a higher deposit with first month rent, or it could be considered a second month of rent, to help further instill faith in us as tenants.
Negatives to finding housing: I do have very poor credit right now that I am slowly working on. There is an eviction on record, but there was very extreme circumstances involved and I am more than willing to explain to anyone willing to work with me, but am not trying to give a sob story or try to garner sympathy for a place to live. I am looking for a private landlord preferanly, as property management companies and most apartment complexes so far have been unwilling to work with me, and there are certain complexes I am extremely hesitant to apply to with a young child.
