@Simon Angel real quick, just because I want to make sure I'm not going about this like an idiot.

I narrowed down my search to the final few. Most half-decent places are around $1,100 - $1,200/mo in rent.

With my current income and savings, and because I may end up leaving my job when I tell my boss about my move, do you think I can afford this? Or should I adopt the mindset of "I don't care, I'll make it work"?
You started this thread on November 17th. If you still must ask, that lack of action should be your answer. Successful people make decisions quickly and rarely change them. They have a sense of timing and they move when they get that itch. I can't explain how I know it's time to leap. I just get a feeling. I joke that I can feel the earth moving under my feet. You don't sound like you know it's time.
