Logistical/life question

[arrowwhiskers]

Since I am a naive fool who knows nothing about such things, I was wondering:

If you go into ads for housing and various appartments and you find one you like, and it says "available [insert future date here]", is it proper procedure to wait until after that date to call and express your interest? Or should you call as soon as possible after you find the ad, in an attempt to assert your claim to it before anyone else does?

Also, how does the whole getting an appartment work? Is it first come first serve, or do you put in your two cents and then maybe get a call back, maybe not, like getting a job?

Cause if it's the latter, with my luck, I'm really screwed! 8D

Anyway, thanks for any insights.

WHo is this? o.O;

Luckily, I'm not house-hunting in Boston. That'd be a nightmare. I'm moving to Arizona, it's slightly more reasonable.

But yea, thanks for all the advice.
