I would add a note here that might not apply to many people but FWIW, in my experience, money talks. If you have an issue with some criteria, sometimes you can overcome that by offering to pay a substantial amount of the rent upfront. If you tell the landlord you are ready to pay the entire year's rent upfront, 90% of the time that is going to grease the works. Obviously, most people who rent are not able to do that. But for those who can, it makes things a little easier. Also for people who may be well off but prefer to keep their finances private, a letter of reference from your bank and/or lawyer affirming your situation will sometimes, but not always, be acceptable for proof of income.
Hans is soooooo great! Would highly recommend him! He helped me get into my current condo on Miami Beach. He got such a steal for us, ocean view and affordable!
So if the owner doesn’t know all of the Condo/building fees in advance, what if you pay the one month escrow to the owner but then find out after receiving the Condo application, you realize that all the fees are ridiculous and you no longer want the appt? Do you get the escrow payment back?
Thanks for this video! I'm looking to move immediately after the holidays (xmas) from out of state. When should I come down and start looking at apartments, start applying, etc.?
Hey Derek! thanks so much! that is a great question you can start browsing to see what out there but the real time frame is 4-5 weeks prior to your move in time.
thank you so much, I am moving to Miami with my girlfriend from Amstedam sometime between June and August. This is all really helpful to know! I am curious how to find a trustful real estate agent. Our budget is $2000 we are hoping for a nice sized 1 bedroom in mid-town area. Fingers crossed!
@@LivingInMiami good to know! I’ll probably need your services then. My husband is already in Miami for his new job and renting a room through Airbnb but we need to get a place by the time I’m down there in April. His job is in Coral Gables so we want to stay near there.
So could you just be like walking around and then walked in a apartment building and could u just walk in and get ur credit approved and then buy it for 1 month and then go to your unit the same day?
Hey my bf and I are moving to Miami in 2023. Our budget is gonna be 1100-1600 what area would u recommend? I’m lookin for a gated community with a community pool. We’re looking for an apartment, is that possible? I also will have a dog
What if I plan to leave Puerto Rico and I were to move ina And prefer to have a home first before I start working? Como em afectaría esto al buscar un apartamento?
you certainly have knowledge to share, but I stopped the video because the background music was way too annoying - so loud that I had to concentrate to hear you.

So my credit is terrible. I am self employed made over 80k last year and have proof of income. And have enough to pay up to 40k upfront for a new place. Plan to pay a full year up front for a lease. I have 2 excellent reference’s from past landlords. Do you think I’ll have any trouble?
Hey! Actually there are some landlords asking for good credit score, Bank Statements and proof of funds & income, but it depends on the landlord. Many of them only ask for proof of funds
