I’m a young professional finally out of school and starting my career seeking a clean well maintained studio / 1 BR apartment close to work because I’ll be too tired to drive home I want to consider all available units but once I see how much it costs to rent, I may opt to buy a modest condo if I can qualify for a mortgage.
YOUNG PROFESSIONALS rental priorities are … 1.LOCATION (proximity to work & social sites) 2.AFFORDABLE (utility costs, internet) 3.PET FRIENDLY (increase weight limit) 4.STUDIO/1BR UNITS IN GOOD CONDITION 5.WASHER/DRYER IN UNIT OR ON SITE 6.AMENITIES (fitness, pool, etc.) 7.RECREATIONAL OPTIONS 8.SECURED STORAGE 9.COVERED PARKING 10.TERM OF LEASE
I’m an senior professional nearing the end of my career with some good employment opportunities and/or we seek to retire near our children and grandchildren. We are able to buy but will opt into short term rental until we can understand our options in this complex real estate market. We want to make the right decision!
