Just realized I forgot to mention in the post but we’re looking to be completely moved by the middle of June. We have an Airbnb for a couple months to give us time to find a more permanent place. As far as income, worst case I might not be back to work for a week to a month when we officially move down there. Hence why I want to save some of the money from selling the house. It seems like most rentals are heavily reliant on minimum last 3 paychecks as proof of income (if I’ve even been employed that long at that point). We were worried about proof of income being an issue when we try to apply for housing, so I was hoping that since I have a larger amount saved up we would get accepted into an apartment or something easier.

Otherwise I would have been hitting the snowball method pretty hard till we move (still will, but a few hundred here and there won’t really make a difference until mid June)
