Moving and nervous need help

[Mickael Castillo]

Hey everyone, I will be moving to tampa in a few short weeks and still haven't found a place!! My job will be transferring me onto the macdill afb (I'm not military) in a few short weeks. I've been looking on zillow, redfin, rently and Facebook. The ones on zillow and redfin ask for more than I can afford and credit won't qualify me. Rently and Facebook shows some potential but still looking.( BTW, How do I know Facebook listing's aren't scams??) I'm just looking for someone to give my family a chance. My current living situation is very stressful but keeping positive. I do want to get into real estate very soon so I do know some of the process so i know we'll be excellent tenants.

 Hello Mickael, I believe if you talked to a realtor in Tampa they would be able to help you find a rental in your budget. You can also speak with a lender to see what you need to do to qualify for a mortgage if buying a house down there is one of your goals. If you take these steps you will know realistically your options. I am a licensed Realtor in Ohio but I can give you a referral to an agent in the area your looking if you need.
