So a friend and I have done some math and figured we have enough income to finally move out of our parents' houses. I've obviously never done this before and I know a lot of you have had experience owning your own place. We've done some looking and have found a few places with two bedrooms that come in at around $1000/month and aren't too far from the interstate. The neighborhoods are far from seedy too.

I'm just looking for some advice as to how to proceed with this. Because my car will finally be paid off and I now effectively have two jobs and a side job, I'll be able to pay my share of the rent and still have plenty left over for groceries and other things. If I want to save a little more I also have the option of taking the bus to work. But, I still want to be prepared for the unexpected.
