By being picky, and checking out your options, eventually you will narrow down your choices to the best apartment for you. Here are some tips on finding not just a place to live but a great place to call home.

Look at as many properties as you can possibly handle seeing

Going to a multitude of properties is both time consuming and annoying. But, by doing so, you will widen your choices and give you a scope of possibilities to compare against one another. Take a notebook with you and take notes on each property. Seeing this many tends to make your mind blend them together after awhile, if you don't. Write down the pros and cons of each unit you think is worthy of considering. If you don't like it, just be glad you won't be living there in the future and move on, after thanking the agent kindly for showing the dump to you.

Interview your potential rental agent or landlord

When talking to a private owner, see what their complaints are about former tenants, ask what they expect from their renters, and overall, observe their attitude towards apartment repairs, or other things that go wrong. If they are impatient, unfriendly or difficult to deal with, reconsider renting from them - no matter how great the rental is.

If you see cockroaches, or even a cockroach egg case, run for the door. Where there's one, there are most definitely more of their creepy, crawly buddies somewhere in the shadows.
