You'll also have some signifigant starter costs. I really think it's much easier to rent from a landlord than a rental corporation. A landlord may try to cheat you, but a corp will have myriad rules and regs to drain your bank account (amenities fees, two times rent deposits, carpet charges, paint charges etc.)

Car is paid for. Found a nice 96 maxima that is in very good condition (needs a few tune-ups/checks, but for a car that age, its in great shape).
As for starter costs, I'm not too worried about it, since I was basically handed a 1,200 check in the form of scrap silver when my grandpa on my mom's side used to do jewelry making back then. I was planning to use a portion of it to cover any huge costs when i move it, but I should be covered as I don't plan to move out until I got a month of so of work under my belt.

Hoepfully if I can get the job at my bro's work (customer service for Fedex packages, incase they go missing and stuff like that), I should be starting at 10-11$ an hour, which should be able to cover the rent.
Thanks for the info guys
