We found some places in the cities .... Walled lake , Farmington ,
Ypsilanti , Southfield , Inkster , Taylor, and Fenton . Its gonna cost
us around this much to move up there .....
Budget rental with car carrier - about $1000
Ship my saturn by semi to MI - around $500-$600
Gas between the girls Camaro and
rental truck we are estimating - around $600-$700 at most
Deposit and 1st months rent - Around $1000 at most
Does this sound about right ? Any tips are appreciated as well

If your credit is reasonably good (let's say 700+), you shouldn't have to make a security deposit... at least, I didn't have to put any money down in either of the apartments I lived in before we bought our house.
My in-law's live just outside of Fenton (i.e. 50 feet away from the city limits). It's a really nice place to live. Keep us posted on what you decide!

Probably so we know what is best for you. Traffic can be a real bitch around here. You dont want to live far away from work..unless you are going against the flow of rush 4hour traffic(which seems to flow both ways somehow).

..and you DO NOT want to be all the way up in Davidson if you are working near Troy.

you don't want to live in dearborn unless you're from the middle east. I would figure out what store you're going to be working at then look for a place to live. Also since you won't be working typical 8-5 hours I wouldn't worry about commute time although Troy's traffic lights are the worst times lights in the area.
