Snatch up an apartment you like !
Apartments usually go on the market 2-3 weeks before the 1st and 15th of the month. The longer you wait before your anticipated move-in date, the harder it becomes to find what you are looking for. Whether it's hiring a realtor or lacing up your sneakers to scour neighborhoods talking to management companies, the search takes patience and perseverance in one of the most fast-paced cities in the world.
It is important to have your paperwork ready immediately: proof of employment, salary, tax forms, and pay stubs must be on hand if you hope to snatch up an apartment you like.
The general rule is, if you see something you like and can afford: take it.
Thinking about it overnight can prove deadly. By morning a happy tenant will be signing your lease and moving boxes into your dream place.
