What do I need to know before moving to the United States?
When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to the United States, they said:
"Speak to as many people on the internet, if you can. Have the local Chamber of Commerce send you info. As it does not cost you as the renter anything, let an agent take care of your rental needs. And remember, whilst in the states, any price can be worked with," said one expat who made the move to Fort Lauderdale.
