Sarah, this video made me so emotional for you. I remember so clearly the video of you sitting at the basketball court in London, telling us how it was going for you so far, and talking about the rooms you had to rent. That was before my own journey moving to London to model from growing up in NY (we kind of swapped places!) and your video gave me so much hope. My next goal is to make enough money in this career to be able to have a place of my own and experience the joy of decorating my space, as we’ve watched you have in these past moving videos. The Lord has His hand in all things, look how far He has led you!! Don’t know you in person, but I’m so proud of how far you’ve come! Enjoy your space and your time in New York ❤️

For one to live in the field their passion is the beginning of life’s fulfilment. I am so grateful of it, and to have been brought up to here. I truly encourage you, and with encouragements, something I learned through experience this 2023 year : enjoy your moments of slowness ; with the right focus, they might be treasures to allow internal growth. And since we have the same Lord, remember Matthew 6:33 ❤️ Like we said when we briefly spoke, let’s definitely meet once we are in the same city 😊

Oh my ! Absolutely ! I even hesitated to bring it to my former home because it was just there waiting under a tree. What’s more, when I asked a stranger if she would be so kind to help me lift it a block away, then one floor up, she accepted !! And she even refused the compensation I offered (I still invited her to dinner later). When I first came to NY, one of the great things I noticed was the kindness of strangers. This woman (Epiphany is her name) was the very proof I was seeing right 🥰 Also, thank you very much !

I LOVE what you've done with such a small space. It's so light and uncluttered! Broker fees are not a normal part of American apartment hunting except for NY. Maybe somewhere else but it's not typical. I've lived in Detroit, Seattle, and now LA and I've never had to deal with that, thankfully!

But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. How blessed are we indeed when we focus on him first of all :))

Oh my ! Yes, yes, it is hard but definitely possible. One advice I would have, if you have the time, is to not waste any energy on any apartment that you're unsure of from the pictures, I mean when it comes to your standards. Of course, there could be a chance that a photo misrepresents a unit, but it's quite rare when from the get go, it just doesn't look right enough. This way, you focus all your energy on waiting and actually viewing the apartments with enough potential. When I would give a chance to some apartments in the hope of a good surprise, I was viewing exactly what was expected. Also, make it clear when you contact the people behind the ads of your situation with all the things you do and do not have to avoid disappointment after having invested time and effort. Wishing you good success !

Honestly, the building owner should be paying those fees IF the broker sources applicants but anyone showing up for a listing shouldn't be paying a broker that does NOTHING but watch the apartment while people view it, is thievery.

5 ай бұрын

Ahhhh, I was so not relaxed at first !!! I cried at the idea to separate myself with all my carefully chosen belongings in London, and that exceptional flat as well !! But as my life does not revolve around my accommodation, I learned to dissociate myself and focus on my actual professional and life goals. So, yes I sold all I could, and have kept the very few unsold and small items in storage, along with other belongings. Also, it’s quite heartbreaking because many of my old things sold for less than 1/3 of their value :’). This is why this time around I have chosen to buy more affordable furniture on easy website (mostly Amazon, as mentioned a thousand times in the video). My pricier items are my mattress ($796 on sale) and my bed frame ($488). The rest was not exceeding $200. This way, I’m already less attached to everything. I won’t invest in anything pricier of tougher quality until I actually settle somewhere for at least 5-10 years. That probably won’t happen until I plan to be a mother, ha !

No assault involved whatsoever, but yeah, my naivety and newness in the city caused my loss :’) Other than this tiny incident (which was refunded by the MTA), it’s been lovely ! Also, to live alone or with people really is a personal preference. I truly thrive in my own clean space. Others do with company. But don’t let fear drive you off ; assess the dangers, the pros and the cons, and see if making such a step is worth it :)

Glad you were able to find an apartment but a broker fee is ATYPICAL for most of America. I live in Texas and have NEVER paid anything like that. The only thing I can compare that to is maybe a rental home deposit, which is usually equal to the 1st month's rent. However - that's for an entire house LOL. Usually for an apartment, you will pay a deposit ($500 max) and then an application fee which is about $50 bucks or so. You may pay a bit more or less depending on how many people are on the lease etc. But long story long... lol - NO that is a NY thing only. And it's utterly ridiculous for the space most New Yorkers have. Good luck!

@sarahconnell

Wait, we pay deposits (we're talking about the same thing, right ? The one they refund you at the end if all went well) too but they are generally the same price as a month's rent (same for London, UK). Are you telling me that it is different in Texas ?? And yeah, I've learned in this comment section that the broker's fees are typically a New York thing, unfortunately for us.

You dont have to use a broker to find an apartment here, lol. Maybe in new york its more common but here in california you just google rentals, call up the agency and ask for a tour. The only fee we have to pay is an application fee and the most I've had to pay for one is $30

Thank you so much ! Including the bathroom, my studio is a box of approximately 5.16 x 4.43 m (16'11" x 14'6"), so 22.9 m² (246.5 ft²).
