OKC: Rent Apt and Rent Furniture? Advice!
It's still tentative, but I may be attending work related training in Oklahoma City, OK starting about July, and lasting 3 months. My work budget for the stay is something like, 2700$ a month for food + lodging. I will bring just enough from my home for the kitchen, linens, and bathroom, but that leaves
3 months- renting a place renting livingroom set renting bedroom set buy or rent a laptop/computer? pay elec pay cable pay internet pay food ramen noodle/beer diet? Anything I don't spend, I pocket, so I figure any sort of apt within 20 miles of 73169 that is safe (for a Nismo 370z lol), and clean. My plan is rent an apartment, and rent the furniture, returning it all after 3 months. Would be nice to get a place with paid bills, and internet, furnished, but does that crap even exist? Extended stay hotels are just depressing. Furniture Rental & Leasing -- Rental Package: Better seems like a good place to start. What would you do?

Personally, I would go the bare minimum on everything (decent location is a must though for saftey reasons). For me that would mean I bring my computer, my xBox, my TV (if it would fit, otherwise use computer monitor), a fold out chair and a box of kitchen/bathroom supplies. Obviously clothes too. And I would rent a bed (I would not skimp here).
Pocket the rest and pat myself on the back. |

I think most apartments come with a lease that you can't break. So it will be pretty challenging to find one without a leasing agreement. They might have some out here with maybe 6 months minimum but I don't think there are less than that. I live in South OKC and it seems pretty nice and safe here.

Check out airbnb.com, you can find an apartment fully furnished with all utilities included. Should save you a lot of hassle. 3 months is a long stay though so might be tough. But look for something like that

if I sell the RX-7 by July, I'll probably trade the Z in for a 911. Lol, either way they are lame *** high way miles.

The FAA brings a lot of folks into OKC for extended training. Search for "FAA housing OKC" on the Internet. They are designed for the type of per diem situation you describe. I am not sure if you are FAA or need to be to stay there. It might be worth checking out.

When I got out of flight school, I had training in Waco TX. Was in a similar situation. We found housing in an apartment complex right near the Baylor university campus that came fully furnished and they let us rent for 3 months. The only thing was telling them my buddy and I wanted two apartments and only one bed per apartment instead of the two beds they had set up for college roommates. So if there is a university nearby, that might be an option.
