This year a record high applied but with what is going on in the world with wars, kind of wars, etc....and then the bad economy...IMO it seems a good chance for people coming from other Countries with good or excellent papers...if your papers, funding is not good enough, I assume your chances are really limited.
The jobless rate is still record high and although on paper it might have gone down, in reality it is way higher due to people who had their pay checks cut (hours cut) and who are no longer eligible for benefits (unemployment) are not calculated into this %...
The rental market is very good and rentals go fast. Of course there will be LL who take anybody, specially the ones who are in foreclosure and not by law allowed to rent at all....most LL will pick the best tenants based on their rental history or background check...something that is hard to proof coming from abroad. If you don't have any one to co-sign or cash money to pay upfront for several month's, than it will be hard, because the LL will pick another person.
When we came here 11 years ago, we had an easy time finding a rental due to having people over here (business wise ) who took care of it and they were known for doing that for many foreigners with whom they had a relationship...They stopped doing it now and after 9/11 things changed, but now due to the economy things have changed more in the rental business since so many lost their homes and became tenants...
So better prepare your papers and otherwise don't waste money and get denied...
