    Hi my name is Caira Button and I am a 26 year old who makes videos about tips, tricks, and organization for small space living. I love the minimalist, feminine, clean vibe. I have kept the decor pretty neutral adding a bit of mid century modern & LOTS of plants. I hope my advice is able to help you in your journey!

    Words can’t explain how happy I am for you Caira! I’ve been watching you for as long as I can remember and always thought you were so underrated. Your content is so unique, interesting and enjoyable! I never understood why you were stuck on just over 3k for so long. For some reason, your videos stopped coming up in my recommended so I didn’t see your videos for quite a while. I randomly remembered you and looked up your channel and realized I hadn’t watched any of your videos in the past five months 😭 Imagine my surprise when I saw you had 12k now! Between yesterday and today I’ve been binging those videos (and making sure to leave a like ofc). I’m so happy for you with your new apartment. The filming set up is great, the apartment is beautiful and you seem sooo happy! Just want to say thank you for the amazing content and I hope the channel continues to grow!

  • @elizabethashton9590
    @elizabethashton9590 Před 3 lety +3

    I understand that the two months free make the apartments under $1300 a month, what happens when the lease runs out and the rent jumps $200+ a month? Also, when you're touring apartments you need to spend more time in them as the 30 second blips don't show you anything. And despite the windows in these apartments, they are way, way too dark.

    Moved to Chicago in 2012 and lived witha friend on the Northside for 3 months while looking for a place. If you are looking for bigger spaces and free car parking, go Southside. Even better find an independent landlord like I did and you can avoid rent increases every year or two.

Of course, by then no one will know what pricing is, but I never knew a leasing agent was free for the customer so I will definitely be reaching out closer around June/July.

I've been lived in NJ for a few months for my ESL class. Next year I've plan to come to Chicago to get my Graduate Degree. Do you know where is the place that you can find an affordable house? A bit far from downtown or even outside Chicago doesn't really matters as long as it's still integrated. Thank you in advance and GOD bless you 🙏😊

    I am planning on moving to Chicago in April of 202,1 and the process seems intimidating so I'm glad I found your video. Quick question: when would you recommend I start looking/when will apartments start listing openings for April? Thank you and I hope we can connect in the future.

    If a new emigrant want to rent and he doesn't have credit history how is it possible to find a place to rent?
    Especially in Chicago
