After you find out your place to live in, you may start buying furniture or other stuffs necessary for your stay in the States. Some people in good financial situation may buy brand new ones, but there are more others buying stuffs from moving sales or yard/garage sales. The "Craigslsit" may help you again now. Not only can you do your hosuing search thru this website, but you can also buy used furniture/appliances here. And better yet, you may sometimes get some free stuffs. Some people who are giving their stuffs away may even be willing to help you transport these items.
Just click on the "free" or "furniture" icons under the "for sale" category. You can find out what people are giving away for free, and what used items you can buy at very low price.
I personally bought a mattress and a base (both are brand new and in very good condition) from a liquidation sale at a very low price (US$90 including delivery). I'm also going to check a 21" TV out today. A guy wants to sell it and asks for only 40 bucks. I got the information all from the "Craigslist". For me, this just like a on-line yard sale.
Check it out, and you'll find many ads put on that site. Of course, you need to select the city you're in first.
Wish you all luck.
