Organize the steps of your NYC apartment search

2.    Establish your financial position ...

If you know your income and credit qualifications you can establish your budget range. Knowing your financial position before heading out to view apartments will save you time and energy. If you will require a guarantor due to income or credit qualifications it is best to have your guarantor in place at this point. If you need a guarantor and don't have one we can discuss different application strategies as well as advising about institutional guarantors.
