I moved from NY a number of years ago. While ideally I would have liked a job before I got here, the chances of that happening are not very high, unless it s a transfer.Basically, fly out here first to get a lay of the land. Target the area you d like to live in. I suggest starting out with a rental apartment, which offers maximum flexibility. Visit apartment complexes, keeping the literature of those that you like, so you can contact them when you re ready. (I had visited the complex I ended up in, but I took my apartment sight-unseen.)If you re bringing furniture and such, price out the move with several long-distance truckers, unless you re doing it on your own. Also - if health insurance is important to you, call different insurers, to see what s available to individual subscribers. (Kaiser Permanente is a good place to start.) Also, contact schools, to see what you can do while in Washington to expedite the process.Good luck. It seems like a daunting process, but it s very do-able.
We moved across 7 states 4 years ago. Be prepared for a lot of stress. You can make it better by having a well thought out planStart with a mortgage broker: they also have a list of information you need.InsuranceUtilitiesJobstruck rentalschoolsvaccinations bankingThese are the most important. I set everything up before we actually moved. We set our move date to coin side with the date we signed for our home ownership at the title office. From there we started moving in. With most truck rentals, you only have 7 days from the time of pick-up. 2 days to load, 2 days to drive and 2 days to unload. You ll have to be careful with your timing.
Moving without a job and knowing you will have incoming cash to pay shelter, food expenses is like NOT THINKING WISELY with your Head up Your A##...so first of all, one needs to have tyheir resume and previous employment information available and then begin contacting companies in all your relocation choices hoping for an interview. FYI now is not a good time as many are out of work and to do so means you have to live off or savings or move in with family or relatives or friends or I hate to say go Homeless. Sorry I don t know much about unemployment benefits other than you had to have loss you job and been employed but I think there is a way to transfer unemployment benefits to different states. Also you might check into USDA Food Stamps if things are really toght.Best of Luck!
Well the only way to find jobs and housing is to begin looking now. Find a realtor to work with and hire a headhunter to shop your resume around town.Good jobs are very hard to find right now. Housing on the other hand is the opposite, the high forclosure rate has created a buyers market as houses sit empty and on the market for a long time. Interest is at an all time low and prices are being slashed to move inventory. New homes that have been sitting vacant and are owned by the bank are especially good bargains as prices have dropped 15-25% if you can come in with a qualified offer.None of this can be accomplished without first spending some time in the area. Plan a visit and have a look around.
