what is the best rental site for homes and apartments ?

Q. I live in Chicago, im looking for townhomes/single family homes or apartments for rent. I have tried some sites, but they did not seem to work well. Is there a very good site widely used ?

A. A local realtor is your safest bet.


does anyone encountered any problem after renting single family home?
Q. I am planning to rent my single family home and I am new to renting business. I wanted to know whether anyone encountered any serious problem after renting their home and which is a better option renting the house or selling it. Thanks!

A. Tons of problems! Ask a few landlords in your area and you will get tons of nightmare scenarios. My brother rented his home to a wonderful retired couple. Didn't smoke. Didn't drink. No children. No pets. Paid six months rent up front. He was ecstatic! Month seven he goes to collect the rent and they have no money. It takes him five months to get them evicted because everytime a court date was set it had to be moved because of a health issue. He finally gets the eviction only to find out they had already moved. And they took the central A/C unit, dishwasher, stove, refrigerator, ductwork and all the copper pipe from underneath the house.

Being a landlord is not for the faint of heart. It is a brutal business.

My suggestion is...sell your house!

Good luck!

How much would it cost to rent or own a single family home in hawaii? ?
Q. I was wondering how much it would cost to rent a single family home anywhere in hawaii? Or how much it would cost a month to own a single family home in hawaii?

A. Because Hawaii is made up of several islands, the cost of housing really depends on which island you want to live on. Here is some information that explains the differences between each island and they have other helpful resources about moving to Hawaii, as well. http://www.hawaii.com/dream-and-shop/movingtohawaii/movingtohawaii/articles/317/deciding_where_to_live.php

Generally, pricing for single family homes ranges from average to rather high, because land is a precious commodity on the islands. Prices are dropping, so now is definitely a good time to buy. I read on a blog that Prudential released the numbers for housing in their quarterly report. In the report, median ownership prices were around half a million to 600,000 - which is low. http://hawaiirealestatereporter.com/real-estate-trends/maui-q3-real-estate-activity-report/

For rentals, I'd suggest going to rentals.com to find some actual properties that are available now and to compare prices.
