90G60 Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 Probably 3-4 years ago I found my old place via the Trulia app. It's mostly homes for sale, but you can filter by rentals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BStowers023 Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 Trulia, Zillow, Rent.com, or just the old fashioned drive around and look for signs. I've been doing the same for the past month or two. It's crazy how expensive it is to rent around downtown (not in the hood). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POS VETT Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 Which area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Versluis Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 I'm going through the same thing. Apartment prices are stupid high and might as well buy a house, but not in line for what I want to do right now. I'm looking in Delaware.

My mortgage payment is the same/less a rental was going to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cstmg8 Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 I wound up saying fuck it and bought a home. My mortgage payment is the same/less a rental was going to be. Makes sense, as most people renting out a house are trying to pay a mortgage. I'd say you made the right call if you plan to be there long enough to gain equity.

jerrodh Posted April 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 Student loans are putting a hold on buying a house trust me I'd be right there... Thanks for the info so far guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2 Sweet Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 I wound up saying fuck it and bought a home. My mortgage payment is the same/less a rental was going to be. ^ This. I only put $5k down on a $125k house, and my monthly mortgage payment for a 1600 sq ft house in Hilliard is the same as a 1000 sq ft apartment in Galloway. Before I bought the house I briefly looked into renting one for a bit and gave up. Options are limited, and they are all too fucking expensive. Even with a very small down payment on the house, it was an easy call to make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flybye Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 Good luck in Delaware. Rarely do I see homes for rent that are decent and fair priced. It's all just apartments and senior centers around here. Unless you plan to buy then there aren't many options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robochan Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 Where are you looking? I may have a duplex available soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwashmycar Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 There are Facebook sites for it. Like this one is "Clintonville for Rent"...I think its private though until you ask to join. Maybe search out whatever area you are looking at. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1435476746719985/...here is one example posted, even though it isnt Clintonville. . http://www.flexmls.com/cgi-bin/mainmenu.cgi?cmd=url+other/run_public_link.html&public_link_tech_id=17uolq87heoj&s=17&id=1&cid=1 We found ours by driving around...just got lucky. I had reluctantly called the number thinking there was no way we could live on the street we are, but the price was ok. You gotta find them before they put them on Craigslist.

AngryBMW Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 I know a few realtors that are also working on finding rental properties. They usually have a heads up on what's available or coming soon compared to what you would find online. PM me if you would like a contact. Thanks!

I'd say you made the right call if you plan to be there long enough to gain equity. The only downside I have found so far really is the fact I kind of want to move out of my current area. If I were renting a home or apartment I could just pack up and move. Now If I wanted to move I have to sell first. I had a nasty breakup recently and would like to get out of the small town I live in currently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotCarl Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 Anyone have or know if any websites or leads on renting a house over just craigslist? I used Zillow.com with mixed results. Best bet for 'in-demand' areas is just driving around looking for For Rent signs. I live in Grandview. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farkas Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 I had the best luck looking on craigslist when I was searching for homes to rent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
