Make your Rental Home Search Smarter and More Efficient By Following These Steps:

Before searching for a rental, make up a budget and take a good, hard look at where your money is going.Remember that in addition to rent, you’ll also need to budget for utilities, cable, Internet, and other potential extras available to renters such as parking, storage and coin-op laundry. That is in addition to your fees for moving and furnishing your home — which, in some cases, could require special furniture to make the place livable.

This step depends on how long of a lease term you’re after and how big of a place you are looking for. Depending on your market and your specific needs, you could be able to rent a wide variety of home types from a variety of types of landlords.

If you’re looking for a short-term rental, you may want to investigate a sublet or corporate housing, which is more expensive but convenient for someone new to an area. For longer-term rentals, you’ll find a wide variety of options on listings portals.

You’ve put together your budget, narrowed down a neighborhood and have finally found a place you’d love to call home.

Your work is almost over, but now it’s time for the landlord to determine if you’re qualified to rent the property.

Deciding Where to Live:

Are you unfamiliar with the area you’re moving? Your buyer’s agent is an invaluable resource. He or she can offer insider knowledge on neighborhoods, schools, access to recreation and shopping districts, and the many other details on local neighborhoods and subdivisions.

It’s important to have a clear picture on the features that matter most to you in a home or location- it will make things a lot easier for you
