Any tips on finding an apartment?

[predent2003]

Hi guys,

I am wondering if anyone can give me some hints/tips on finding an apartment. Perhaps in or close to Toronto downtown?

When would be the best time to start looking? Where should I live at the mean time when I am looking for the apartment?

Would it be a better idea to borrow some $$ and pay the downpayment to get a smaller studio and pay mortgage instead of rent?

Any comment is welcome!

Hi

A good place to start is through the TorontoMEDS.com Classified Ads.

www.torontomeds.com/cgi-b...ifieds.cgi (http://www.torontomeds.com/cgi-bin/classifieds/classifieds.cgi)
The newspapers, agents are also good resources.

When are you planning to move into the new place? Summer? Sept?

If you are planning to move in the summer (ie June), I recommend you start looking now. If you are moving in Sept, you still have time. I start looking for a place for Sept in the summer.

I am not sure about the renting or buying option. I haven't done too much research on that. :o
