South Tampa Rental Homes & the Rent vs. Buy Metric

For everyone who rents (or leases) South Tampa rental homes, it’s a choice that comes up every year: rent or buy. In addition to the common sense considerations everyone brings to that important decision, some financial measurements have been developed through the years that attempt to bring an element of rationality to a largely subjective decision.

Actually penciling out an answer isn’t always satisfactory because it is literally impossible to quantify elements like peace of mind. To some who own their South Tampa homes, there is great peace of mind in controlling their own destiny. To others, the worry of being responsible for a home’s maintenance or taxes makes the ‘peace of mind’ factor a wash — or even a negative.

Five Aids for South Tampa First time Homebuyers

When working with new buyer clients in our South Tampa – especially the first time homebuyers – I usually find myself fielding more than one question about what they should expect as they progress through the process of buying a home.

The NAR was trying to determine what buyers want from their agents. To answer that, they compiled homebuyers’ “five biggest expectations.” To me, these…

South Tampa Homeowners Give Lawns Love & Attention

Some of us have decided that life is too short to spend any time behind a lawnmower. Others decide that the real reason we have a mate is so that we can offer him or her the opportunity to get out in the fresh air and sunshine…to mow. Children can be the recipients of that very same opportunity, which will build character through hard work. Alternatively, a healthy lawn – especially a well-watered one in late August – provides an opportunity to keep the South Tampa economy humming by employing a gardening service to keep it in top trim.

But for those of us who personally oversee our property’s greenbelt maintenance, earlier this month, CNN’s Money website put together a four-point tip sheet that caught my eye: it rounded up some of the best common…

Are Tampa Bay Area Rentals the Best Housing Solution?

It’s a familiar moment: you are about to enter into an important agreement, and as you lift the pen to sign your name, you pause. Your pen hovers over the Signature line for an extra moment as you register how important this will be in shaping your future…

When it comes to home rentals in Tampa – St. Petersburg area, just such a moment occurs when you are about to sign the next year’s lease agreement. Tampa – St. Petersburg area rentals largely echoed the national trend to higher prices and tightening supply, so the number of dollars on the bottom line can make that hesitation linger a bit longer than before.
