Verify Everything

Always check landlord credentials, property ownership, and get proper documentation.

Visit Multiple Times

See the property during different times of day and week to understand the area.

Rule of Thumb: Visit at least twice before making a decision.

Budget Wisely

Factor in deposit, agent fees, utilities, and moving costs beyond just rent.
