No idea what your career plans are, but realize republic is not commuter friendly. I’m lucky enough to live in base at a out station. I commuted for 2 years as a FO, and it sucked. If you’re dead set on Republic and do not want to move to base, then DCA is probably your best bet. You can get a decent pad for $250, which is much cheaper then hotels.
Try to avoid using the crew room as a place to sleep. This seems to be common place at Republic, but management is not supportive of this practice.
