Long story short, I have a lease on an apartment that was just signed recently but I'm in the hunt to get a better job sooner rather than later. If one comes along that requires me to move, I'll be stuck with this two bedroom, one bath apartment until next summer (or pay out the nose to break the lease). I know Delta, Comair, and CHQ have bases there so I'm wondering if I can rent it out as a crashpad to recoup some of the costs.
It's about a 10-15 minute drive from the terminal at CVG, in Florence sorta near the mall, if "ya'll" know where that is. Basically right on the south side of the airport. There's lots of food and stuff nearby. The complex is nice, and pretty quiet as far as apartment complexes go. Parking is not an issue. I'd probably leave one queen bed there, POSSIBLY a decent 27" TV (gotta get it back from my ex girlfriend), and a large set of somewhat ugly, but brand new, dishes. If it would help, I'd consider getting another cheap bed, and maybe leaving some other stuff to make it livable.
So for you commuting/crashpad experts, what do you think?
- Is it too far from CVG? I can't think of much in the area that is closer to the airport, but I don't know what's up on the north side. Obviously a car would be needed, or a taxi, or something.
- Where are the other CVG crashpads located?
- Ideally I'd like to keep it at 2-4 'regulars' if possible, especially since it's only a 1-bath. Is that common, or not really?
-Flexible on price somewhat, but utilities and possibly basic cable would be included. What is the going rate for a place like that? What would you be willing to pay?
Anything else to think about? My goal here is to help someone out with a place to crash, and help myself recoup some of the cost. If it turns out that just coughing up the money to cancel the lease would be significantly cheaper, then that's what I'll have to do. My job search is sort of hinging on what to do with this place, so any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
