| Finding Short Term Housing |
So you are looking to build a house? Or move into a bigger
house? Whatever the case, I understand your problem. Before you
can make the financial commitment on a new house, you need to
sell the house you are currently living in. That just makes good
financial sense. The problem then is this, what do you do when
your house finally sells, but your new house will not be
finished for another 3 months? The answer is short term housing.
Short term housing is not always easy to find, but it can be
found.
A simple definition of short term housing might present it as
housing that can be rented or leased for relatively short period
of time, say 3, 6, or 12 months. With the growth of the real
estate market in the United States, the popularity and need for
short term housing has grown considerably.
Real estate investors are constantly on the lookout for good
real estate investments, |
and there is always a good supply of
homes on the market that would serve as great short term housing
solutions for new home builders. Homes that are a few years old,
offer modest accommodations and a nice neighborhood are very
attractive for short term housing.
If you are in the market for short term housing, check out the
classifieds of your local newspaper. More than likely there will
be numerous listing of rental homes that can leased for the
short time period you desire. As you are looking for temporary
dwelling, be sure to look for a house that will fit your needs.
Although you will not be in the house very long, there is
nothing more frustrating than renting a home that is too small
or one that just doesn't fit your family. You want to make the
best of this short term housing, so if you have kids
look for one |

with a yard. If you work from home, then obviously
you will need short term housing that provides you with an
adequate office space to continue your work uninterrupted.
As you are searching for short term housing that fits your
needs, pay attention to the monthly rates of each candidate.
Though the monthly rate is not terribly important since you will
only be living there for a short time, you want to make sure you
are getting a good value for what you are paying. As general
rule, avoid short term housing that is extremely cheap or
expensive. Most likely, neither will provide a good value.
Typically houses in the middle price range will offer a good
amount of square footage at a fair rate.
Before you move into your short term housing, you might consider
renting a storage unit. Chances are you won't have room to store
all of your belongings in your rental house so the most
economical |
solution is to rent a nearby storage unit. As you are
packing be sure to separate the items you can't live without
from the things you don't mind leaving in storage for a few
months. If you are careful in the packing process, you will find
that you can take most of the necessary items to your short term
housing solution and live comfortably while you anxiously await
the completion of your new house.
