I’ve been renting for the last three years in an apartment complex in 92128. Outrageous yoy increases, and growing family means we want to change and we are looking at a SFH within 20 min drive to 92128 where I work.
I’d like to lock in along term contract 2-3 years and I am willing to pay upfront 6 months rent. We are extremely clean and past landlords have adored us (in Virginia though).
Is there any strategy that could help me rent a sfh paying a bit below market? Is paying upfront multiple months a good idea? Longer term contracts? References? Other?
I’m currently renting a 600 sq ft 2/2 apartment for $2300. I am looking to keep the monthly rent below $2800 and I am basically looking for a very clean home with a backyard. Am I being completely unrealistic?
