Yet strangely, millions of people from overseas do rent apartments in the U.S. every year.

There are even apartment complex chains that specialize in this sort of thing. Oakwood was one, last time I checked, and has buildings in most major cities.

As noted by my Austrian friends, you can do anything you want in America as long as you have the money up front.

oh okey so paying up front 6 months of rent is not a nightmare?
Oakwood doesn't make you pay six months up front. The Austrian comment was not about renting an apartment.
I just checked the rent prices of your "oakwood" in NYC. 8000$ a 1br in manhattan all sold out. I can imagine so many foreigner lucky to rent at such cheap price.
Why are you suddenly confining yourself to NYC? America is a lot larger than that. Your contention was "America," not NYC.
i was just pointing that the price of oakwood is triple the normal price that is why they dont ask you 6 months upfront because ull pay those in two month timeframe LOL
