I would suggest you go walk around an area you are interested in. Look for vacancy signs and write down the numbers. I did this once and brought my cell phone with me and called the numbers when I was right outside the places. I found the apartment i wanted and it had just came available the day before. This place had one of the best views in Vancouver and I took it right then and there, walked to the bank machine took out $1100 and grabbed it
