If you wish to reduce the amount of money you will pay monthly consider:
Consider Adding a Roommate – Many homes have more people reside in the home than there are bedrooms. Most homes have 1-2 rooms that are large enough for roommates to share a room. This will significantly reduce monthly rent. There is a small fee $100 monthly fee for an additional roommate. Therefore is you are interested in a 4 BD home that is $2260 per month or $565 per person, adding a 5th person will reduce the rent to $472 per person.
Select a Home that is Energy Efficient – Most Compass homes have below average heating bills - per last years gas bill usuage. This is due to the added insulation, newer windows, storm doors, furnace maintenance, etc. Compass homes are also updated with energy efficient appliances to reduce electrical usuage. A home that is energy efficient can save up to hundreds per month.
Consider Signing a 2 Year Lease – If you sign a two lease, you will lock in your monthly rent amount for two years. Routinely rents increase from year to year to accommodate for increases in property insurance, property real estate taxes, increasing costs of maintenance, etc. By locking in your rent amount for two years you can save a significant amount over a 2 year period.
