I have been looking since November.Alot of the rentals are on Craigslist.I have come across some real nightmares.The majority of renters trash rental homes.Not all but alot.The problem with going with a Management companies(which I am currently renting from) is that they are so expensive.But the problem with renting from the owner of the home is that you could get a slum lord.That has happened to both of my daughters.freedom has its price, trust me it does. I hate fixing all the things that go wrong.i haven't been in my home ten years and its need painting on the outside and the soffit is the worst. you pay their property taxes, in that they collect you. if were to rent to you. my rent would have to cover p and I and escrow. with some increase for maintance. otherwise I would be in the red. sadly tenants don't like to care for their domiciles. my wife went throught that.
