Are you hunting for a new place to call home? If so, that may mean searching through various rental properties, such as apartments, condos, and houses, but how do you go about finding the right one? Eagle Realty & Investment in Statesboro, GA, says renters who follow these five tips will not only save time in their search, they will find the perfect rental home to suit all their needs and wants.

Here’s how to find the right rental home for you:

  • Analyze Your Budget: Before you begin your rental home search, carefully analyze your budget so you know what you can afford. You’ll likely want to check your credit score, review current and future expenses, and determine how much savings you’ll need for a deposit.
  • Decide Which Amenities You Need: It’s a good idea to make a list of the amenities you’d like in your next rental home before you start looking. Do you need a certain number of bedrooms? Would you like to have a yard? You’ll also want to consider features like what type of kitchen appliances you’d like or whether or not you want a place that has access to onsite conveniences, like a gym or laundry facility.
  • Choose a Neighborhood: Instead of searching rentals all around town, narrow down which neighborhoods you’d ideally like to live in and begin your search there. Consider things like the commute to work, where the best schools are located, and crime rates. 
  • rentalDecide Which Type of Rental You Want: Rental properties come in all shapes and sizes. You can choose from small studio apartment units, high-rise condos, and even suburban houses. Determine which type of home rental is ideal for your lifestyle and fits within your budget.
  • Research The Landlord: A landlord will likely conduct a background check on you and possibly even call your references, and you should do the same to them. To better understand what type of landlord they are and how they treat their tenants, ask for a list of references of previous renters you can contact.
