"Borrowing Heaven: Orlando Rental Properties" seems like just a catchy title, but it's true! Orlando is only moments away from beaches, Disney World, and many other great things. But it doesn't matter how much you fall in love with Orlando, how long you've been living there, or what type of lucrative job you might have if you don't have a place to live. Rental property is the perfect solution for those who are tired of living in cramped apartments but aren't yet ready to commit to a mortgage.
Before you begin searching for rental property, make out a budget. The general rule is to spend no more than 25% of your gross monthly income on rent. As you scan the newspaper for advertisements, mark out the properties that are over your budget. If using the Internet, most search engines will allow you to specify how much you are willing to pay so that you are only shown properties in a certain price range. These tactics help eliminate the possibility that you will fall "head over heels" for a property that you can't afford. If, like most people, your budget is fairly tight, look for properties slightly farther away from beaches and major tourist attractions, where prices are considerably higher.
Once you have found property that appeals to you and falls within your budget, take the time to visit the place. Remember that pictures are sometimes misleading. Take this time to check for structural damage to the house and to talk to the neighbors, since these are the people you will be living in close proximity with. Find out your landlord's policy on remodeling and reconstruction. For example, what types of changes can you make to the house? Will he be responsible for leaks, etc., or will that be your job? Carefully read all small print on the contract to avoid surprises later on.
Congratulations! With just a little time and effort, you will be able to find your dream house and property at only a fraction of what it would have cost to buy the place. And that, my friends, is what it feels like to borrow your own little piece of heaven.
