The Benefits of Renting Forever and Not Buying a Home

2009-10-08T10:15:00.001-07:00

First and foremost, renting is not throwing money away. Renting is paying for a service (a place to live), just as you are paying money for utilities and the like. Renting really keeps you flexible in your lifestyle. When you are renting, generally you can pickup and move almost whenever you want to wherever you want with out much of an issue. You might face a small early termination fee if you have a lease, but you can get out of it much quicker than selling a home which can take a period of months!

Buy to Let Advice: Furnished and unfurnished properties

2009-09-30T16:47:00.000-07:00

At one time, the trend was to let properties fully furnished, as fully furnished properties gave the landlord more rights. However, as landlord's rights have been extended, the cost of furniture has become cheaper, and people have more disposable income, this trend has reversed. Many people prefer to have furniture of their own about them. The most usual course is to let a property part-furnished, with the landlord providing a fitted bathroom and kitchen, carpets and curtains, and perhaps some electrical equipment.

Renting offers many advantages, and should be considered a viable long-term option for people of all ages and socioeconomic levels. Renters enjoy flexibility and freedom from the responsibilities of maintenance. Given the often overlooked costs and risks of homeownership, renting is in many cases a wise financial choice. And the experience of a place like Switzerland - a well-functioning country with only about a 35 percent homeownership rate - suggests that rental housing per se does not unmoor society.

RENT TO OWN

What is a lease option?

When a renter signs a lease with an option to purchase a Cabo property for a specific price within a certain time frame, that is called a lease option. In most lease-option situations, a portion of the rent is applied to a future down payment.
Lease options are most popular among buyers who don't have enough funds for a down payment and closing costs.

Preparing your rental property for prospective tenants

2009-08-25T16:48:00.000-07:00

A poor first impression of your rental unit is hard to reverse.

To attract tenants who will treat your property properly and stay for a long time, be sure that your grounds and exterior areas are sparkling. Renovating the grounds by making sure that there is no trash, junk or weeds is often a very inexpensive task.

First impressions are critical and one of the key areas seen by all prospective tenants is the front entry. Make sure the entry way is clean, well kept, and well lighted. The front door should be cleaned or freshly painted or stained. Buy a new welcome mat. Remove or replace a broken screen door.

A Rental Agent

2009-08-21T11:04:00.000-07:00

A rental agent will save an owner lots of time and aggravation. No more phone calls, appointments, no-shows. Just give a set of keys to the agent.

But there are additional advantages to an agent. The quality of tenant may be better. After all, the tenant is willing to pay extra for the agent. They have a little more financial reserve and aren't scrimping on every penny, a good sign of how they will treat you. There's something more professional about using an agent.

Moreover, an agent offers owners some protection against charges of discrimination. Agents are licensed on condition they agree not to discriminate.

But just any rental agent won't do. Here's why. One rental agent reportedly said to another: "Why should I do a credit check? That just gives the landlord a reason not to take the tenant I found."

This agent is just in the business for a quick fee. And the fees are good. So owners must be wary and look for a rental agent who plans to stay in the business, wants your repeat business in the future, and aims to give you tenants you won't regret.

Obviously, you want an agent that will do not just a rental application and say they checked the references. You want one who does a thorough check on income, credit and all references - and gives you written documentation. It's not easy work, but rental agents are well paid; make sure they do their job.

Owning A Home Is More Expensive Than It Looks

2009-08-14T14:47:00.000-07:00

With renting, you do throw your money on rent because you never gain ownership of the place you’re renting. However, when you own a home, you also throw your money away on other fees and taxes that never go towards your home ownership. For example, you’ll pay property taxes, homeowners association dues, condominium fees, and any number of other fees associated to the area your home is in – none of which go towards the equity in your home.

"Why own when you can rent?"

2009-08-14T11:04:00.000-07:00

Now That Housing Has Soured, Renters Are Glad They Didn't Buy

With the housing-market slowdown, tightening mortgage-lending standards and rising home foreclosures, renters are more easily answering the question: "Why rent when you can own?" Such a question was common during the housing boom, when homeowners, happy with the gains their homes were making -- at least on paper -- would urge non-property-owner friends to join the party. The conventional real estate wisdom holds that owning a home is a better investment than renting. Real-estate values tend to appreciate over time (despite temporary negative blips in home prices) and homeowners who hold mortgages -- at least those who financed with fixed-rate loans -- know exactly what their monthly housing payments will be for the length of their loan. Renters don't have the same certainty.

But some renters say that the price hikes they may face when they renew a lease are manageable, especially in light of today's housing-market troubles. Several areas across the U.S. that saw substantial home-price appreciation during the housing boom also experienced steep property-tax increases, and mortgage costs for adjustable-rate or subprime loan borrowers can be tough as rates push higher. What's more, home buyers who bought at the top of the market can find themselves with high mortgage payments for an asset that has lost much of its value. With the housing market in flux, it makes sense to hold off on buying, renters say. Now, these renters are asking, "Why own when you can rent?"
