Stress of relocating

Andrew McIntyre
  • Riverton, WY
Posted

Hello all, I would just like to give you my story and hopefully if any of you have ever had any experience with this you can lend some advice. I am currently enrolled in a technical school in California studying and preparing to work with Amtrak. I plan to make this my career while I save up and slowly build an investment portfolio to which someday I can hopefully do real estate full time. 

My fear at the moment is relocating to a new city without knowing anyone and nowhere to live once my schooling is finished. going back home (WY) is not an option for me because unfortunately they do not have a passenger rail service. I will most likely be relocating to Chicago, Florida, or the northern east coast. it all depends on what jobs are available once I get close to graduation. 

Right now I would just like to reach out and get to know some landlords in these areas who are close to any Amtrak stations 

I will keep this post updated for I have just a few months left or so until I graduate. 

Many thanks

Andrew McIntyre

As far as relocating, after you've chosen the area that best suits you I'd see if friends and family may have someone that needs a roommate so you can find the best spot for yourself before you sign a lease or rent an apartment...

Ask Amtrak if they had relocation experts that are in those cities that help with finding housing.

Good luck on your career venture and start looking for areas that if your planning on investing in, besides working in has the most potential for you.
