DECIDING TO RENT
TIME TO GO SHOPPING
MOVING IN

Pros of renting

  • Flexibility: It's easier to move when a lease ends, making it suitable for those who relocate often for jobs or other reasons.  
  • Lower upfront costs: You typically need less money down compared to buying a home. 
  • Fewer responsibilities: The landlord is usually responsible for maintenance, repairs, and property taxes. 
  • Predictable expenses: Some or all utility costs may be included in your rent, and you don't have to budget for unexpected large repairs.  
  • Less commitment: You are not tied to a property long-term beyond the lease agreement.

Cons of renting

  • No equity: 

Rent payments do not build ownership or a financial asset. 

  • Lack of stability: 

Landlords can increase rent, decide not to renew the lease, or sell the property, forcing you to move. 

  • Restrictions: 

You often need permission to make changes, and there can be rules regarding pets, decorating, or other modifications. 

  • No tax benefits: 

Renting does not provide the same tax deductions that homeowners may receive. 

  • Security deposits: 

You risk losing your security deposit, and the landlord has control over the rules surrounding it.

1. Prepare financially and set goals
  • Define your goal: Decide if you are seeking long-term appreciation, monthly cash flow, or both.
  • Get pre-approved: Get pre-approved for a loan to understand your budget and strengthen your offer.
  • Budget for costs: Calculate all potential costs, including a down payment, closing costs, insurance, taxes, and money for repairs or vacancies. 
 
2. Research and select a market
  • Analyze the market: Look for areas with population and job growth.
  • Study rental demand: Research average rents, vacancy rates, and renter demographics to find a high-demand area.
  • Consider location factors: Investigate local amenities, school districts, crime rates, and public transportation, as these all affect tenant demand and property value. 
3. Find and evaluate the right property
  • Choose property type: Decide between a single-family home, duplex, or multi-unit building based on your experience and goals.
  • Inspect thoroughly: Always conduct a full inspection to identify any structural, plumbing, or electrical issues that may require costly repairs.
  • Consider "rent-ready" vs. "fixer-upper": New investors are often advised to start with a turnkey property rather than a fixer-upper, which can be more time-consuming and expensive. 
 
4. Plan for management and contingencies
  • Create a management plan: Decide whether you will self-manage or hire a property manager.
  • Build cash reserves: Maintain at least three to six months of expenses in a reserve fund for unexpected costs or vacancies.
  • Review existing agreements: Check for any existing rental agreements, leases, or HOA restrictions that may affect your ownership. 
5. Make an offer and close
  • Make a smart offer: Submit an offer that accounts for your inspection findings and leaves room for negotiation.
  • Secure a lawyer: Use a real estate lawyer to navigate any legal complexities.
  • Focus on the details: Ensure your lease is airtight and understand all the local landlord laws before you begin renting. 
Before you move in
  • Handle logistics:
    • Coordinate with your landlord to confirm move-in hours, key pickup, and any building regulations for movers.
    • Arrange for utilities to be turned on the day before or on move-in day.
    • Research parking regulations and obtain any necessary permits.
  • Secure your lease and insurance:
    • Read and understand your lease agreement completely.
    • Get renters insurance to protect your belongings.
  • Prepare for the move-in inspection:
    • Complete a move-in checklist with your landlord, documenting any existing damage with photos.
    • Ask about the process for reporting maintenance issues.
  • Pack and plan:
    • Declutter and start packing early, using labels to organize boxes by room.
    • Consider hiring professional movers for assistance.
    • Update your mailing address with the post office. 
 
On move-in day
  • Final walk-through: Do a final walk-through with your landlord to verify the property's condition matches the move-in checklist you created.
  • Change the locks: For your security, consider changing the locks if your lease agreement permits.
  • Unpack essentials: Unpack your "essentials" box first to get the basics, like toiletries and a few days' worth of clothes, in order.
