Finding an Apartment Online

With today's technology, finding the ideal apartment is going to take more than flipping through the Yellow Pages and making a few phone calls. Online ratings, unbiased reviews and community forums from complete strangers can be a great way to find the apartment of your dreams. Here are a few of the best ways you can start you apartment search:

Apartment Matchmaking Services
Simply entering in your necessary apartment information into a few query boxes can cut down a 1000 potential apartments to 10. Not only does it make it so much easier for you to find exactly what you want or need, apartments are realizing the need to be a part of these services, and are making sure they are an option for you.

Online Boards
Finding the right ones can be a bit tricky, and reviews of apartments are usually biased. However Craigslist, as bad of a wrap it gets at times, can be your best bet for finding sheer volumes of apartment listings. Quite often apartments will have specials on rooms they need to have filled, and will post those enticing listings on craigslist for a brief period of time. Definitely a great place to look if you're a bit strapped for cash.

Brokerage Websites
Great for finding reviews and listings from those in the business. However these reviews can often be biased, and it's best to not use this as your only option for finding online information. Because these are updated quite frequently, and because they usually weed out the sketchy places, it's not a bad place to visit.

If you're living around the Ohio area, it can also be tough to find corporate furnished housing in Ohio. Using the sites listed above, you can help expand your options to find the place that suits your needs perfectly.

Wow, how long has it been?

Oh dear, I can't believe I haven't posted for a month. How time flies when you're having fun building your business. Yes indeed, I've been quite busy. But now...I'm back...and more excited than ever.

When I first joined BookWise about 6 months ago I knew I had stumbled on something very, very special. How special I found out this past week at the 1st Annual BookWise Convention. I will tell you all about it over the next couple of days.

When Richard Paul Evans and Robert G. Allen told us a little while back that BookWise will totally change the way books are being sold and published they were not kidding. I was totally amazed when I found out this past week how exactly this is going to happen. Get ready for a revolution...and hold on to your socks because what you'll find out will surely knock them off.

Stay tuned...
