Screw that. I'll take a carload at a time over several days or weeks. Much easier and more manageable.
The cost of paying two rents or mortgages for a couple of months is far less than it would cost to either (1) have a moving company do it (and lose/break/steal all your stuff) or (2) the aggrivation and mental hell of doing it all at once. Forget that.

That's what I did when I bought my house. It allowed me to paint the new place, take care of any maintenance issues, get rid of
a bunch of crap, and move basically one room at a time.
Then again, I only moved a mile away, and the rent at my old place was dirt cheap. A bit difficult to do if one is moving to another state.
