Rent-to-own is an idea whose time has come. Until demand catches up with the enormous supply of available housing, it’s an idea that’s here to stay — an excellent alternative for wannabe homeowners caught in the current credit crunch…
Most investors want to sell properties outright. They hope for a clean, quick transaction. But for many, it’s just not happening.
Rent-to-own sales, or lease options, are moving into the mainstream, according to Robert Eisenstein with Home Run Homes, an online classifieds website dedicated solely to rent to own transactions.
There are many ways of finding an apartment, and opting to go with an apartment broker can be the right choice for many people. Whether it’s the right choice for you depends on several important factors.

I like supporting worthwhile causes, and this is a great one. It benefits kids with cancer, and features an early-spring pool plunge by Pheasant Run’s property manager.
Aaah, Splash Day is the perfect combination of (mild) human suffering, rewarded with humane generosity. Stop by and drop off a few bucks this Saturday. Or just send a check — that’s what Apartment Search is doing! (Address is on the attached link).
Splash Day is Coming!
Village Green’s annual fundraiser, Splash Day, first began 19 years ago with a dare. Because we traditionally open our apartment community pools in early April, often before swimming-friendly weather, a manager accepted a dare to take the plunge, but only if pledges were made for donations to a worthy cause.
Since then, Village Green has donated up to $50,000 a year to various charities with Splash Day efforts from each of its regions. Our goal is to raise pledges for the St. Louis -based “Friends of Kids with Cancer” – http://www.friendsofkids.com/
I just like the phrase, ‘Penny Wise and Pound Foolish’. Old Ben Franklin knew what he was talking about. There are currently some fantastic deals in the St. Louis Apartment market — just be sure you know what you’re getting for your penny before you buy...
We’ve all heard the phrase ‘Penny Wise and Pound Foolish’ before and I think it has taken on a new meaning recently within the relocation industry. It seems that the focus has shifted from everyone working together to make the transferee’s move as painless as possible to everyone (including the transferee) working “solo” to find the cheapest possible price for any given service. It reminds me of another one of my favorite phrases, “You get what you pay for.”

Finding an apartment, in New York City or St. Louis or anywhere, is a major undertaking. The author of the article below missed a huge resource – using brokers (apartment Locators) to narrow down your search. There are free locator services in virtually every major city in the U.S.
Start with www.apartmentsacrossamerica.com. If your city isn’t listed, contact a locator in your state. They will direct you to local services in or near your township of choice. The key here is to work smart. Locators are a great information source to begin, and often quickly resolve, the tedious task of finding that perfect apartment.
Thanks to the real-estate slump it’s a renters’ market out there. Vacancy rates are still pretty high and landlords in many areas are willing to bargain, in some cases offering a free month’s rent or waiving fees. Home prices have also fallen back to earth since the boom years.

Who was the first joker to put a frog in the teacher’s desk? What clown originated the idea of rearranging his friend’s apartment and putting all the furniture on the roof?

An apartment search takes time, and it can be difficult to fit around a hectic work or school schedule. It’s even harder when you’re hunting for apartments in another state, and are not familiar with the area. To save time, you must use ways to start and finish an apartment search effectively.
via 4 Tips to Make an Apartment Search Quick and Painless | Oh My Apartment.
When I started thinking about moving, I got online and started searching for places to rent. When you don’t know a certain area it is so hard to figure out exactly where to start looking. All the online websites require you to really know the area you are looking at or you have to search through hundreds of apartments that meet your criteria but might not be where you want.
Your service is so much better. You give what rent.com or apartments.com etc offers, a database of all the rentals, only you give someone personal service and information about the area and each rental…….why wouldn’t a renter use you!! I did, and I will again.
