Call it an apartment. Americans don’t know what that is 😊.
If you have an Amex open in the UK then you can transfer it to the US and the credit history comes with it. Difficult to do anything without credit history here. And bring heavy winter gear because Jan/Feb are the coldest months.
Have funds on hand / proof of employment which is annual salary x40 your rent, otherwise you’ll need a guarantor.
I went for roommates and a sublet when I first moved from London, made it a lot easier.
The winter has been pretty mild so far, but it can get bitterly cold in Jan/Feb and there’s always the chance of heavy snowfall, so definitely invest in good winter gear. I got caught short when I moved and was under prepared.
Happy to chat further over DM - it’ll be 5 years in Jan since I moved.
I have a flat for rent will be ready in the middle of January Dm if you have any questions
