However, I don’t yet have the funds for a down payment on another house, and I’m trying to figure out the best option for where to live while I rent the apartment.Do you have any recommendations for managing this transition or tips on finding a temporary place to stay?

After several attempts to try to figure out a solution with our rep with no success we asked to speak with his manager.

I figured I would try rentRedi just for that part of it. 

I figured "this has to get better, right?"

@Polat Caglayan very ambiguosu question, but read the helpful info below to guide your next set of questions:)-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

Once you figure out what strategy work backwards.

As someone who grew up ridiculously poor, I have more wealth than I probably ever figured on having.

You have some good advice here, but part of what you have to do, in addition to getting him out, is to figure out how you got yourself into this situation.

OF course, you may have all this stuff figured out, but the original post was vague.

My wife and I both have jobs that pay over 6 figures and our monthly living expenses are only around $8K.
