Hihi fedi~ a question~ I'll be moving to the US in about a month or two (waiting for my visa), specifically Urbana in Illinois! Uhhmm, could I ask any helpful fedizen to give me advice about finding trans-friendly accommodation there? I haven't rented in the US before so I'm a little lost about some things~
First question, Should I try and book a place to stay in advance, like now, or should I wait until I get there and stay at a hotel for the first week and then go and visit?
My worry is that it's going to be hard to assess whether a place is good to stay in from just pictures, so visiting in person might be ideal?
Related question, will I face difficulties finding a place to rent given that I haven't rented in the US before? Are there any kinds of documents that landlords will need? like do they expect references or something? my previous landlord is in SG, and the one before that was the Uni, so I don't know if that counts?
Second question, how difficult do you think it'll be to find a trans-friendly place to stay? are there any signs to look out for?
Third question, are there any particular areas or parts of Urbana to avoid? Ill be working at UIUC and I can't drive, so I'm hoping for something not too far from the uni, maybe within cycling distance I guess~
Fourth question, what platforms would yall recommend for looking for accomodation? any apps/sites to focus on/avoid?
Fifth question, any kind of things in renting contracts to look out for? like any clauses that might be predatory or something that I should keep an eye out for?
reboosts for visibility welcomed!

Cruising in my car
I had no idea what make this car was when it drove past, but Google Images says it's probably a Cadillac of some sort from the 1960s. It looked beautiful, whatever it was, and the guy driving knew it too.
