Longwood, Florida – An American Colonial City With Small Town Charm

Tuesday, October 4th, 2011

The historic city of Longwood, FL is located in Seminole County, just west of Winter Springs. Longwood is one of Seminole County’s oldest cities and is rich with American colonial history.

Longwood has a charming Historical District, which spans 190 acres and offers 37 fascinating historical buildings including the Bradlee-McIntyre House and the Longwood Hotel. The Bradlee-McIntyre House, which was moved to Longwood from Altamonte Springs, is a Victorian cottage-style house built around 1885 for the Bradlee family. It is the only surviving “cottage” in both Orange County and Seminole County. This house is a Queen Anne Style three-story, 13-room vacation house featuring an octagonal tower and classic “ginger-bread” trim.

Longwood is unique in that it provides a comfortable, safe, small-town atmosphere while situated within the larger, dynamic Orlando-Kissimmee Metro Area.

Five Tips for Successfully Renting a Home

Monday, March 14th, 2011

You may have found a great rental home that you can see your family flourishing in for the next few years or longer. Before you ink the deal, here are some important considerations to ensure the property transaction doesn’t turn into a nightmare later on:

  • Make sure absolutely everything is in writing.  This may seem trivial, but you must have how much the security deposit is, how much the rent is, when rent is due, and penalties for late payment documented clearly.  The length of the lease agreed upon is also a necessary component to a legitimate lease.  If you become confused by a superfluous amount of legal jargon, don’t hesitate to have a lawyer look over it.  Legal assistance will go a long way.
  • You want to know the flexibility you have with your rented property.  For example, do you plan on leaving your property on a month-long vacation and having friends or family occupy the residence while you’re gone? If this technicality turns into being a sub-let, will your landlord allow you to utilize your property this way?
  • Rights and obligations of home repair and maintenance must be discussed in detail with the landlord, and documented as well.
  • Just like you may need references before renting a property, don’t forget to compile references and contacts of previous tenants that have dealt with your landlord.  Your landlord’s reputation speaks volumes about whether they will be a nuisance or a professional.
  • Find out if the property has overdue utility bills left by the previous tenant.  If not discussed appropriately with your landlord, you can feasibly be liable for paying for them.

Considering a Rental Home Management Company

Friday, March 4th, 2011

If you’re planning on moving soon and haven’t planned on how you will sell your home, there are options available to take the pressure off this arduous task.  Especially now with the housing market still in a perpetual slump, selling isn’t always the best option.  Renting your home can provide a stable cash flow, but it can be very time-consuming worrying about finding renters, collecting payment from those renters, and having the responsibility of home maintenance if you’re potentially hundreds or thousands of miles away.

You may want to consider why a Rental Home Management company in Orlando may be best for you.  When searching for the perfect one, your Rental Home company should possess the following:

  • The expertise and the resources to match the best possible tenants with your rental property.  You want your company to work diligently to maintain occupancy, while also making sure eviction rates are minimalized.
  • Excellent communication.  Keeping in touch with both property owners and with residents of rental homes ensures the relationship goes well.
  • Prompt collection of rent on behalf of the owner.
  • Outstanding quality of service.  This includes meeting and exceeding expectations for deadlines, whether it’s immediately performing urgent home maintenance or resolving complicated issues.

If you want a great company that makes sure these qualities are our priority, make Rental Home Management Services, Inc. in Orlando your choice. Our goal is to minimize your stress while maximizing your return on investment.  Contact us today at 407-261-5610, or e-mail Gail@renthomefl.com.
