Depending on the rental period, each must have set of guidelines to follow before signing off that contract. If you're renting for long period, here are the questions to ask:
  • is it conveniently located near the commercial areas i.e. banks, grocery stores, malls? - where we live now is very convenient as it is near the commercial area. banks are just 10 minute-drive from here. malls and grocery stores are just 15-minute drive.
  • is the school or church nearby? - my boy's school is just 4 blocks away from my house. it is pretty convenient to have a school nearby. i don't drive so i appreciate having his school to be of walking distance only... for about 10 minutes. that's why i recommend doing a research before buying or renting properties.
  • is the contract renewable?
  • is the water supply efficient? - it would be difficult if we have problem with water supply. last week, we had a very low pressure water system. our showers upstairs stopped working. i thought our water supply was cut off. we checked our downstairs shower and it worked well. so it was because of the low pressure that caused the trouble. so inconvenient.
  • does the property have the alarm system?
  • is the area gated?
All these and more must come in mind before buying or renting a property. Check out what I found about Oregon Vacation Rentals
