Looking for a rental or thinking of renting your property? All about rentals in Northern Virginia.
Finding homes in Northern Virginia can be really a daunting task. With so many options out there, you might think it’d be a piece of cake! Well.. not so much, sometimes.
First things first: Is renting better than buying?
The answer, as usual, is: “it depends”.
Look at your own personal situation. What is your goal? What kind of lifestyle would you like to have? How long are you staying in this area? What are your preferences in terms of commute, amenities, privacy, and convenience?
There is no doubt that with interest rates still low, buying is the best option to build equity, accumulate wealth, and invest in your future. Your monthly mortgage payment might even be less than what you pay for rent (and rents generally increase each year).
In many cases though, it might not be feasible to commit long term to, or afford, the kind of home you want to buy in the location you want to buy right now.
For those who choose to rent, Northern Virginia offers an incredible variety of options – luxury condos with urban flare, charming townhouses with amazing views, and single family homes with incredible outdoor living spaces. You can find them all right here.
As your neighborhood specialist, I can guide you through the process of finding your perfect new home, applying and getting your application approved, reviewing and negotiating your lease terms and conditions, performing a final inspection, and preparing your move-in report and checklist.
