Can you help me find a rental?

Yes. Ingrid can search MLS-listed rentals, schedule showings and help you put together a strong application. Availability moves quickly, so she'll help you stay ready to act when the right place appears. Start on the homes for rent page.

What do landlords typically require on an application?

Most landlords ask for photo ID, proof of income (often recent pay stubs or an offer letter), a credit and background check, rental history and an application fee. Many look for income of roughly three times the monthly rent. Requirements vary by landlord, so ask before you apply.

Should I rent or buy?

It depends on how long you plan to stay, your savings, your monthly budget and your flexibility needs. Buying builds equity over time but comes with upfront costs and property taxes. Renting offers flexibility. The rent vs. buy guide walks through the math.
