June 18, 2010, Newsletter Issue #188: Good Ways to Learn About Rental Houses in Areas You Want to Live

Tip of the Week

A search for rental houses in areas you want is important. Yet it is also time consuming and even frustrating. Unless you’re a first-time renter, you’ve probably already had the uplifting experience of driving around for hours, viewing rental houses you wouldn’t consider at half the rental price because they weren’t “you.” But fear not. There is a better way.

First, narrow your search on paper. Give thought to those features you must have, those you would like to have, and those that are unimportant to you. Write them down or firmly fix them in your mind. Visualize your next rental property.

Then go to your computer and search rental homes that fit your vision. Using the Internet to focus your search on just the rental homes that match your criteria saves you time pouring over newspaper ads, talking to endless rental agencies, or driving aimlessly in your preferred neighborhoods.

With both text describing features and, often, multiple digital pictures of the actual properties, you’ll probably generate a solid list of rental homes you’d consider. Then contact just those landlords or rental agencies offering the rental property in which you have interest. You’ve saved time, money, and frustration. The odds are favorable that you’ll find the right property for you and your family.
