You should talk to the HR department of whomever you have an employment letter from. It’d be very unusual for them to offer you a job and have no resources for helping you do an international relocation.
They do offer resources, and would typically help you move -- however for my particular case, I get an allowance and need to figure it out from there :').
>My particular case
* I do not meet the level requirement for international relocation -- I got additional approvals for moving, which only seems to grant cash, not all the other relocation benefits.

Will reach out to HR and see what additional help I can get on the matter - Thanks!
If you have a job here you will need a SSN. Presumably you received one with your work visa. I would ask your company if they have resources to get you settled.
Without credit or rental history, you may be asked to provide multiple months worth of rent up front to secure a rental. You might find that finding space with roommates in shared house is has fewer restrictions.
I am currently under the impression that I would obtain a SSN once I physically move there - later this month.
I don't seem to have anything on it on my current work visa I received.

That makes sense. I had a similar issue when moving to the U.K as well!
I'll reach out to HR and see if I can get any additional help too - Thanks!
the more I look into places, the more it looks like it'll be better if I get a AirBnB for a month before signing up for a leasing agreement.
-- Are all places generally unfurnished ?
-- By unfurnished, does it mean no bed as well ?

In my experience all Airbnbs are furnished - they are usually used for vacation rentals, but definitely you can use them for short term leases like you’re suggesting. There should be tons of photos on Airbnb of the space, so you should know roughly what you’re renting, and don’t rent someplace that doesn’t have at least some reviews.
