Is it a bad idea to get a 2br with intent on renting out?

Hey, I am moving to a new city in the fall and all the appartment shares suck. If I got a 2br here it is only 740.00 and includes club pool, tennis courts and gym. Much better than all the appartment shares listed right now. I am just concerned with getting stuck not being able to rent it out.

Which means you have to put your future roommate on the lease.
Which is usually not fun, or a good idea, especially if you don't know the person.
Ask the management about their subletting policy.
Don't get an apartment that costs more with the intent to get a roommate unless you can pay for the place on your own and still be alright.

Can trade TF2 items or whatever else you're interested in. PM me.
Well... Im no longer in debt. I got a huge rebate because I did not get a stimulus check last year.
Congratulations on that, but getting out is not the end goal - staying out is.
Getting into a situation like this where you're depending on someone else to keep you out of the poorhouse - and splitting a 2br when you can't afford it yourself is doing exactly that - is a bad idea.
Keep looking, and lower your standards. I'm sure you don't need a club pool, tennis courts, and a gym with that apartment.

Yeah dude, getting free money is great and all, but don't just use it up faster than it's coming in.

The only time this is a good idea is if you are good to cover the rent should someone back out on you. Otherwise, forget it. This is analogous to your situation with debt. If you can't afford to pay it back, don't spend it.
Also, have you thought through the ramifications of actually living with someone you don't know? Let alone living with that person, and having them beholden to you for rent? Living with other people can be difficult enough - putting money on the line can cause seriously sticky situations. Given your history with money (and life), the less liability you give yourself, and the fewer complicated situations you place yourself in, the better.
2. For an excellent reason. Getting someone off Craigslist is a crapshoot, even after you meet and interview them. Some people will destroy their homes and leave you with footing the deposit.

I am moving to Tampa FL. I might be able to get a studio for 400 that is decent but I do have a fair amount of stuff. Also, I want a roommate to chill with because I am going to be new to the town and know no one.
It almost doesn't matter where you go. If it's in city limits, expect to pay 700+, and 800+ is not uncommon. Even for the smallest most plain places. Tampa was one of the housing bubble capitals and there is still a good bit of inflation creeping around now that everyone lost their house and have no other options.
I was hunting around there about 3 months ago and have had several friends who are living and have lived up there in 1 beds, and they've all had issues going it alone.
If you want to get some cheaper rent, check out Oldsmar, Wesley Chapel, and Brandon. Depends on what you are doing. Oldsmar is north, Wesley is east, and Brandon with South East, but going out there you'll be saving 100-150 a month easily in rent. In exchange you'll be adding 10-15 minutes to your drive.
Stay out of New Tampa and the regions directly around the airport. You'll get gouged.

One of my friends just moved there and she said it was much cheaper than the other stuff in the area. It's in North Tampa right between a pretty nice part of a town and a pretty crappy part of town. Camden has like 7 complexes in the city and they let you transfer your lease to any of their places in the country for a nominal fee.
