Finding people interested in Ti Chi, self-development, etc. will depend greatly on where you are. I would research different cities and see which ones appeal to you.
Anyone can rent an apartment, but you may need a credit check, proof of income, etc., depending on the landlord -- the more downscale the place, the less likely they are to care. Some cities are much more expensive than others: NYC & San Francisco are way up there, LA and Boston a little less so, but still pricey.
