Can’t find a home!! 🏠

My husband and I have been trying to find a rental place, we are moving from NJ to PA so we been looking near the border of NJ and PA and we can’t find a place!! It’s been 5 months, we have lost so much money on application fees etc. we’re losing hope. We don’t have high credit so we know that’s why but I know people that have horrible credit find places in 2 weeks and we can’t find anything 😥. The places we looked at aren’t the cutest nor are they in good neighborhoods either so it’s not like we are looking at luxury either and my husband makes good money too. Does anyone have any advice you could give us? We are in need of a new apartment 😭
