i live with my mom in scottsburg and i was just told that she is going to move to arizona....so therefore i am left without a place to stay.....does anyone know where i can find a cheap apt?? preferably in southern Indiana

I'll look around. There's some company that has apartments all over the area. Most of them have a green sign out front.

You have a few options.

1. Move in with friends/share living quarters.

2. Find a cheap place/a room to rent. Look in the local papers, the giveaway, etc. Bigfoot across from McDonalds in Scottsburg stocks most of the local papers.

3. Rent a trailer. They're cheap and you can probably buy one inexpensively. There's a fair sized trailer park off Moonglow road, I think.

4. Buy a place. Housing prices in Scottsburg are pretty reasonable. You can find liveable places for $40,000 to $80,000 right now and on up. I'd advise only taking a fixed rate mortgage currently, though.

5. Contact realtors. Sometimes they know of cheap places or can get you good deals on buying a place. Are you employed? Are you a smoker/non smoker? Do you have pets? All those things may have bearings on how/when/where you can get a place.
