Meanwhile, he&#8217;s touring luxury apartments in South Florida, complaining about the prices and saying he\u2019d rather build his own house.<\/p>\n<p class=\"w-full font-normal font-inter text-[16px] leading-[1.75] text-black break-words antialiased\">The former Colorado football player <a class=\"font-normal text-[#007daf] transition-none hover:underline hover:text-black\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCOakMLj0qms-ZarxWgRKlAw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">took viewers along<\/a> for an Oct. 6 house-hunting trip with his brother, Cleveland Browns quarterback <a class=\"font-normal text-[#007daf] transition-none hover:underline hover:text-black\" href=\"https:\/\/www.complex.com\/tag\/shedeur-sanders\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Shedeur Sanders<\/a>. But after checking out Fort Lauderdale apartments renting for $8,950 and $9,950 a month, Shilo wasn&#8217;t exactly reaching for his checkbook.<\/p>\n<p class=\"w-full font-normal font-inter text-[16px] leading-[1.75] text-black break-words antialiased\">&#8220;This room is so small. Like, why even make this a room?&#8221; he complained while inspecting one of the bedrooms. &#8220;You can&#8217;t even breathe in here. I&#8217;m getting claustrophobic just being in this little room.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"w-full font-normal font-inter text-[16px] leading-[1.75] text-black break-words antialiased\">Then came his alternative.<\/p>\n<p class=\"w-full font-normal font-inter text-[16px] leading-[1.75] text-black break-words antialiased\">&#8220;I&#8217;m about to just start building my own stuff cuz this is crazy,&#8221; Shilo declared.<\/p>\n<p class=\"w-full font-normal font-inter text-[16px] leading-[1.75] text-black break-words antialiased\">The properties had plenty of amenities. The brothers toured units with spacious bathrooms, walk-in closets, downtown views, and access to a resort-style pool and 24-hour gym. Shilo also liked the building&#8217;s security, explaining that even living in a gated community hadn&#8217;t completely eased his concerns about break-ins.<\/p>\n<p class=\"w-full font-normal font-inter text-[16px] leading-[1.75] text-black break-words antialiased\">But the bedrooms and monthly rent remained sticking points.<\/p>\n<p class=\"w-full font-normal font-inter text-[16px] leading-[1.75] text-black break-words antialiased\">&#8220;I ain&#8217;t going to keep playing around with these Miami prices, bro,&#8221; he said. &#8220;And I&#8217;m going to Texas.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"w-full font-normal font-inter text-[16px] leading-[1.75] text-black break-words antialiased\">&#8220;I might just have to live in Fort Lauderdale,&#8221; he said. &#8220;That&#8217;s like a sign. That&#8217;s like God saying, \u2018move here.\u2019&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"w-full font-normal font-inter text-[16px] leading-[1.75] text-black break-words antialiased\">But his plans may have since shifted.
