KC room or house help [View all]

I recently moved back to MO…my son had his third daughter and I have been out west or in AK for all of my grandkids lives. The oldest has been working on me for the past year…and I guess she won! Lol

I have convinced my kid to move out of TX but it will probably be about 1 year because they have a newborn.

I am situating in KC MO. Shelling out deposits etc for an apartment would severely affect my savings so I would like to room for about 6 months…or if a good community, longer.

When I moved to WA almost 7 years ago a DU member gave me a contact and viola I got my place to stay and lived out a 1 year lease.

Another barrier to getting my own apartment is the fact I have a brand new job. Starting today. So even though I have the money for the deposits I don’t have proof of income they will be wanting.

My job is in the Gladstone area of KC MO so within ten miles of there would be ideal.

Thanks for reading and sharing if you have a contact. I have excellent roommate and rental references too.

Edit: I am a bartender but the new job is at a nice Italian restaurant that closes at 8 weeknights and 9 weekends. So no 2am closes…and I’ll have 40 hrs.
