At this point you have identified your budget, location and the unit type, unit size, unit amenities and property amenities you are seeking. The next step is to conduct elementary online research with a quality apartment search service to identify properties which best fit your criteria.
Think of the apartment search service is a giant funnel. It will help you to reduce a list of thousands of apartments available in your metropolitan area (if you are using a search service which offers information on all available apartments) to perhaps just five to 20 apartments. Each step in the filtering or funneling process will reduce the pool of apartments you are considering.
The first step is to identify location and budgeted rent. Next limit your search by the number of bedrooms. Then limit the search by the number of bathrooms. At this point, if there are still more than five to 20 apartments which fit your criteria, start considering the unit amenities and project amenities which are most important to you. Try adding one amenity at a time instead of initially adding 10 or 20 amenities. If you initially add too many amenities, it will likely reduce the number of apartments to an unacceptably small number, or perhaps even zero.
Each revision to your selection criteria and query should take no more than one or two minutes. You should be all the complete the apartment search service research in no more than five or 10 minutes. This will provide a list of five to 20 apartments which best fit your criteria and have the best pricing.
