How to move to a different state? -

What is the process of moving states? I currently reside in Indiana and I want to move to Colorado very soon (within a year at best) but I m unsure of the steps. I m still young (19) so would it even be possible at this age?I want to move into an apartment but how do I go about doing that? I know I need to save up the money of course, but how do I know the apartment is right for me without being able to see it?Do I save up enough money to move there and for rent for a few months and THEN find a job or somehow get a job from here? How would I do that?Also, what else would need to be done?Thank you in advance!

There are ways. Go to www.rent.com or www.apartments.com and do a search for the city and state you are interested in. The sites will show photos of the properties with all the amenities and current rents. Once you see a complex that you like, call the local police and ask them how that neighborhood is for crime. To get an idea on gas prices, go to www.gasbuddy .com and search your area of interest. It updates every day. I would figure moving costs and living expenses and save enough to live for at least 6 months AFTER moving expenses and rental deposits.Every newspaper has a website. Do a Yahoo search for the local paper by city and state. There you can look at the want ads.Do a search for your city of interest under Demographics. This way you can get an idea of the population size, racial make up, media age of the the residents, and average income levels.Go to www.webshots.com and do a search for pictures of the area that interests you.

Ask them what the safer areas are to look in in your price range.I have family in Denver. It is getting very crowded and built up there. I also have family in Grand Junction. It is smaller, yet good sized and nicer, but is a high desert area, not mountains.
