We just renewed our lease and I have no fear that we will miss out on any opportunity within the next twelve months, or the next twelve months after that.<p>
This reminds me of an advertisement by a realtor that cracked me up ... "Today's buyer market will soon be yesterday's missed opportunity". My wife came running to ask what was making me laugh so hard.
you can always break the lease by paying 2K to 3K I think if you decide to rent a house or buy a house. Irvine Company lease usually have a lease breakage cause, so you won't owe them rent for the remaining term. But double check. Getting the longest lease as Lendingmaestro suggested is a good idea.
Speaking of rentals, does anyone have a good recommendation for a site that has house rentals in the Irvine area? I'm hoping there's something as good as Redfin, but targeted at house rentals.
When I had to temporarily relocate out of state, I was too tight to do a lease break. I used Craigslist to find some people to take over the lease. It was tough, finding reliable people and who were also in desperate need of housing.
My lease is up in Feb 2008, and I'm still deciding on what to do..
If anyone's interested in renting a condo in Irvine let me know. I'm moving to Camden place 1/1/08, so thats when my condo will be available. Its 1000 sq ft, new wood floors, in Paseo Westpark. rent is $2,050 /month
