Rental Suggestions

[(former)FormerSanDiegan]

I like 4plexowners’ ideas. But, as a landlord, I can tell you that they likely already understand that a $200 drop in rent is better than 2 more months of vacancy in terms of annual gross. If they do not understand this, then they will not likely agree to your offer anyway, because they are either bad at math or weigh other factors more heavily than optimizing income.
Believe it or not, there are sometimes valid temporary reasons for holding out for higher monthly rent and accepting a bit more vacancy taking less annually.

Thanks for all the advice. I think I will offer a combination of above. I will go view house, fill out the app and attach a cover letter explaining what I am willing to pay. That way he can pull my credit report see the 800 FICO and maybe that’ll help! 🙂

Thanks guys!!!

Mark,

Not sure if you’d be willing or able to pull it off, but might consider offering X number of months in advance.

With our current LL (since mid-2004), we paid 12 months in advance for the first year and 6 months in advance from that point forward.

Of course, you really need to trust the LL & I’d suggest having an atty come up with an agreement that YOU give the LL regarding escrow accts, LL credit reports, etc.

With a good FICO, advance rent payments & good references, you will have no problem negotiating whatever you want. Also, if you plan on renting for awhile, you could consider offering a two or three-year lease agreement. Talk to an atty & see what you can come up with.

Good luck!

I actually did that with my current house. Offering up 6 months in rent in advance. Got me a pretty sizable discount. I might do that again. Thanks
