but I don't have another choice. Houses are way too expensive in Florida and I could never afford one by myself, especially with my subpar credit. I couldn't afford the payments either.
I'm lucky enough that my parents love me and they let me live in one of their apartments. I live here with my brother and our names are on the property. We do not have the power to sell the property, unless our parents pass away.
We pay the the maintenance fees and utilities, but the apartment still has a mortgage. Once my mother retires in 5 years, we will be in charge of paying the mortgage (as her income will reduce) since the apartment will be ours eventually. My brother doesn't make any noises most of the time and he always has his door closed, but sometimes I can hear the neighbors upstairs dropping things on the floor or stomping, it doesn't happen very often.
My brother doesn't get in my business, but I would much rather be alone
I'm grateful for that, but at the same time, I wish I had enough money to own a house and have privacy. I like being alone and if I was rich, I would probably buy a house that is very far apart from other houses
It's probably never going to happen. For now, I just focus on improving my living area, where I installed a solid core door and had a second wall with insulation installed on top of an existing wall that faces the neighbors, as I was hearing the guy snore, which was ridiculous. I don't hear it anymore.
I would like to have a subwoofer but I'm concerned is going to disturb the neighbors, even though at times, I hear a subwoofer from a neighbor at 101.
I'm at 103 and I can sometimes hear a very low subwoofer playing, doesn't happen often though. Can't imagine what the guys at 102 hear.
Sound proofing is very expensive for small results tbh short of rebuilding the whole place, there is not much that can be done like installing concrete walls, decoupled drywalls, etc. I gave up on that already as is a waste of time and money
