| Apr 16, 2020 at 17:21 | comment | added | gerrit | @IanDan Millions and millions of labour migrants move halfway across the world without paying thousands upfront sight unseen for an apartment. In fact, they don't have thousands. Staying on campgrounds (preferably out of season) or in worker hostels for a couple of weeks at first does not need to be overly expensive, however, people used to a middle class lifestyle may find this quality of life not acceptable. | |

| Apr 16, 2020 at 15:34 | comment | added | IanDan | How about getting an apartment instead of a house? Apartments can have different availability dates, you can check reviews for the management company online, and most likely they will be decently taken care of if well managed. You can also use social media to find possible roommates. Also, houses can be tricky to rent if you don't have employment history/credit score/credit history. | |
