Any advice about apartment hunting and how far in advance I should close, etc, would be appreciated,
Well, this is probably obvious, but don't live anywhere you haven't looked at in person!
As for how far in advance to look, that depends on the market in your area, and at the time you're looking. In West LA, most places won't even rent to you if you're not ready to move in almost immediately. But, that is weird, and in other places, you need to look further in advance.
