Arizona Home Rentals an Affordable Alternative to Apartment Living

Despite the fact that home prices continue to drop, many people, for many reasons, are simply not in a position to become homeowners.  That doesn’t mean, however, that they and their families can’t enjoy the benefits of living in a home as opposed to an apartment or condo.  Arizona real estate rentals are plentiful and affordable, and at Brewer Caldwell Property Management, Inc. we offer the finest Arizona rental properties for you to choose from.  We offer Scottsdale home rentals, Phoenix home rentals, as well as properties from every corner of the valley to Tucson to the White Mountains.  Let us show you how an Arizona residential rental can add so much to your family’s quality of living.

There are so many reasons to choose a home over an apartment these days.  For one thing, a house for rent in Arizona is comparable in price to an apartment in this market.  This means that for the same price as an apartment you’ll gain all of the extra amenities that a house has to offer.  Things you may not have given much thought to, like available parking 24/7, or the opportunity to build or rebuild your credit without having to make a large purchase to do so.  Then there are the more tangible things that truly make a house a home.

If you’ve got a family, you know that space is always at a premium.  The best part of renting a home is the extra space you’ll immediately have at your disposal.  In addition, most rental homes that are on the market today were built after 2000, meaning that the quality and value of these homes have not diminished in any way.  In fact many of these rentals are in effect new homes, allowing you to choose from homes in great condition in some of the most desirable parts of the valley.  And because there are so many beautiful homes on the market, you’ll receive the added benefit of upgraded amenities (tile, countertops, pools, etc) depending upon the home you choose and the price range you desire.

At Brewer Caldwell Property Management, Inc., we have over 1,000 Arizona rental properties available to choose from.  We are one of the largest property management companies in the state, and are committed to finding you and your family the perfect fit in an Arizona home rental.  Put apartment living in the rearview mirror, and rent in style by renting a house and making it your home.

Help answer the question about rental living

My brother is living in a rental, and he has not paid rent for two months?
But he said they have yet to even say his rent is late, and they just called him today to ask him to fill out a new lease. Is this possible? I told him to just come stay with me, but he said he want to stay until they kick him out. In fact he said management called him today to say (well a rep) come by and sign a new lease she just made COOKIES? what is going on here, anyone ever hear of such a thing?
He lost his job and all and was trying to make but he had a heart attack and just never got back in the groove. I've been there and he has seen them in the all with me and they said nothing, and I think they don't need to serve him they just tack it to the door, but the ploy that someone mentioned I told him already, so he won't sign he was waiting for a notice so that he can get the money from social services. He did that much, he contacted them but they said without a notice they can't help him, and I can only let him stay with me cause I got my own issues……my place is going condo on me and I don't know what tomorrow will bring.
Oh this is a big management company no real landlord per se…..just people who work in an office.
Oh he's been paying out of his savings but that ran out and he can't seem to find a job he's like 44 and worked at one place for like 21 years or so and seem like no one wants to hire him, and I understood why he had to leave, he was burnt out and cracking up badly, I just don't know what else to do here. I'm feeling really badly for him. I understand why he wants to wait it out cause he doesn't want to depend on anyone, but he's gonna have to for a while…..

    If the person is living under the same roof as you, they're typically considered a roommate, not a renter, but this is a bit of a gray area amongst mortgage lenders. For the purposes of procuring a mortgage for her, many non-prime lenders don't mind, and will simply require that you provide 12 months' worth of canceled checks to prove her rental history with you.

    With regards to a new lessor, her residence in your home could count as rental history, but would depend on the property management company to which she applies.

    Read publication 527.
    Are you renting at full market value or not?

    If not, you put the rent on line 21 as rental income and the prorated expenses (up to the amount of rent) on schedule A.

    Would you even want to date the kind of woman who thought that was a problem, who based her relationship choices on something like that?

    I can help but I need to know what you pay now for rent and what state you are in and what size home you need. i can research what going rates in your area would be to see if it would be cheaper or if was more maybe it would be worth it in the long run if it wasnt to much more

    Here's a cost of living calculator showing both the median salary for a Registered Nurse and the cost of living in Sacramento, CA: http://www.payscale.com/cost-of-living-calculator/California-Sacramento/-/Registered-Nurse-(RN) I randomly chose Sacramento, but you can look up this info for any cities in CA that interest you. The good news is that although the cost of living in CA tends to be high, Nursing salaries are also often higher than in other states.

    In Sacramento, the cost of housing is 56% above the national average. It might be more informative for you to use this calculator to compare the cost of living in your current city with that in California cities. That, plus your projected salary, should give you a good idea of how your standard of living might change if you decide to move.

    Hope that helps and good luck,

    That is perfectly legal, especially if you have always owned and have no rental history for them to go off of.

    If you had any rental history they would ask them if there was ever any pet damage.

    tell her to read her lease/contract it should say something about the appliances, you should call city hall and ask there, what the landlord did was not right.

    Your landlord owes more than the house is currently worth, so if you assume his loan, you are paying too much.

    It would be better to simply find your own financing and place an offer on the house just like any other buyer would.

    I lived with two separate roomates on two different occasions and there were certain months that they did not pay rent. We had separate contracts so it didn't affect me. Actually, the one roomate never paid one penny. We lived together for several months and she was unhappy with the condition of the apartment so she sent the rental office a letter saying she refused to pay untill/unless the problems were fixed. They never fixed them and she never paid. Nothing ever came of it. However the situation you are describing sounds "strange". Something is clearly going on that your brother either hasn't mentioned or actually doesn't even know. Whatever the case I don't think that living in a rental and not paying is a good idea. But then again. Nothing ever happened to my roomates and its been years. Good luck to the both of you and I hope it all works out okay. P.S. to avoid legal trouble he could always set up an escrow (spelling) account.
