Grant’s direct answer
HomeBase generally wants the serious apartment-hunting trip to line up with roughly 70 days before the target move-in date when possible. Grant prefers one focused touring day with about three to seven well-selected communities, using a second day only when a small number of finalists need another look or a few properties could not be scheduled on Day One. The objective is to arrive already understanding the neighborhoods and shortlist, then use the trip to confirm the best choice and be ready to apply. A nearby weekday can be preferable when the exact 70-day mark falls on a weekend.
