The One Question That Changes How You Compare Rentals

by Patti Gregory

The rent price isn't the whole story.....
What it includes is.

Most renters compare listings by the monthly number.
That's how you end up paying more for the "cheaper" one.

Here's how I coach clients to compare rentals in Orange County.

**1. Ask what the rent covers.**
Utilities. Appliances. Laundry. Furniture.
Every item included is a bill you don't pay, and a budget you can trust.

**2. Know your true move-in number.**
First month plus deposits, and a pet deposit if you have a furry roommate.
No surprises at signing.

**3. Price your daily life.**
How far to the park, the groceries, the freeway?
Minutes saved every day add up over a 12-month lease.

**Here's what that looks like in real life.**
