Hi,
Im currently awaiting the result of my visa application, so while this is going on i`ve been conducting alot of my research.
Having decided on Melbourne the biggest thing i`m struggling with is the idea of how to settle on finding somewhere to live - with renting being my prefered option.
From what I can see it can be a bit of a ball ache to rent somewhere out, with potential tenants needing amongst a number of things previous landlords references, but having owned my own property I will not have these.
My thoughts are is it best to have pre-arranged short term accomodation for say 1-2 weeks pre-booked and then look for somewhere to rent then, or try and secure somewhere before arriving.
Anyone who has had previous experiance with this I would love to know your thoughts.
Thanks.
DJP
