Property owners, would you let me rent from you and sublease?
Income: > $200,000 (gross) before bonuses; Credit: mid/high700 to 800; Rental History: Great, references available. Clean background. No pets, no smoking. Quiet, clean, responsible. So are the people I tend to be around.
Desired Rental: 3Bedroom, 3Bath @ $4500/month in an expensive, safe location. 3X income is routinely preferred in the area.
Job is new but very secure. You do not lose it or get fired. I am a great tenant. Landlords love me because I keep a very clean unit they like to showcase when owner/investor house tour is needed lol
My dilemma: I need to live very close to work, in a very expensive area. I am also very responsible financially and have always lived below my means. Hence, I am looking to rent a place and sublease 1-2 rooms to a responsible tenant, likely someone with similar background or a student whose parent or guaranteed loans are footing the bill. I am very good at screening people.
*** I want to remain the master lease holder and be responsible to pay the landlord ***
Would you rent me a $4,500 unit under these circumstances? Would I have freedom to move 1-2 people in or is this something that is frown upon? Under what circumstances would you let the other people in?
I am looking to be a long term tenant and remain the lease holder. The unit I am looking at is a RSO.
What can I do to be more attractive to a property manager given my desire to sublease, at least the first year, as I want to quickly pay off some educational loans and then live by myself in the same unit.
Thanks
