6 Tips For Renting An Apartment

Posted on


What you pay for your apartment and how fancy it is depends on your negotiation and deal-finding skills. However, before you negotiate anything, you’ve got to decide what you’re looking for in your rented space. Read on for six steps to help you find an apartment for the lowest possible rental rate.



Seek Web Help in Picking Features


If you don’t know what features are available in your area, try exploring the websites of online apartment locator services. You can search for apartments based simply on whether you want a one- or two-bedroom apartment or by other features. It’s a great way to find out both what your pad will cost and what neighborhoods have the features you want.



Avoid Choosing a Home Based on Perceived Value


You can get a great deal on an apartment with vaulted ceilings and an island kitchen, but the neighborhood may not be what you’re looking for, or it’s missing other things that topped your list of desired features. Don’t make the mistake of renting an apartment because it seems like a good deal according to someone else’s needs but not a good deal based on your needs.



Call a Locator in Your Area


Look online or in a physical phone book for numbers for apartments in your area.
  • Call at least two and ask about which rental communities and neighborhoods have the most features that you want within your price range.
  • Ask about specials. You may be able to find an apartment that would normally go for $1,000 a month for $800 per month.
  • Because the locator will get a commission if you choose a property he or she recommends, make sure the locator calls ahead to see if the two to three properties you like have the best units available.


Always Call a Community Before Visiting


Before you visit a property, call before visiting to get a quote on prices. Once you are on the property, the leasing agent may hope to wow you with features, but on the phone it’s all about the numbers. Compare the figures you received from your locator with the number you gathered from online and local apartment locator services.


Tour Properties in Person


While virtual tours can be found on most apartment complexes’ websites, there’s no substitute for visiting a community in person. Websites will provide an idea of what the community and interior look like, and should be used as an initial screen. Walking around your potential new neighborhood and apartment will give you a better feel for the location, Also, don’t limit the search to one property; visit at least two, so that you have a comparison.


Reevaluate Your Feature List


During the very first step of the process of finding a fabulous new place to live that’s also easy on your wallet, you developed a list of what features that are important to you in and around your new home. You should have also decided what you are willing to pay for them. Now that you have at least a couple different properties to choose, see if you still hold the same values. Adjust your list accordingly as to what each feature is worth before doing your final comparisons of cost versus home value.


Summary

Once you know what you want and what it will cost, sit down and think about your choices in the following two ways:
  • Look at your actual budget. Consider whether one apartment would leave you with more money left over.
  • Evaluate an apartment’s worth based on the sum of values you haves assigned to the features from your list. Make sure the actual rent you pay is within reason for what you can afford.
Knowing you have an actual value for what’s important to you will enable you to make a decision on where you live based on your own needs instead of a community advertisement.

8 Stages to investment

Posted on Updated on

The decision to embark on an investment extends beyond determining the profitability or otherwise of an investment, for example; an investment that is poorly provided or badly implemented may render and erstwhile investment proposal and exercise in futility because seen proposal may eventually turn out to out rightly unprofitable or manage to break-even. Investment can be in the form of capital assets or rural assets.
Investment planning should not only consider an exhaustive investment appraisal but take a panoramic or systemic view of proposals from the conception of the idea to its implementation even beyond to an ex-post evaluation leading to a follow-up action on such investment proposal.
A comprehensive investment decision process could therefore be seen in the form of investment cycle.
·     

  •     Investment identification and definition

A prospective investor will have to define where his areas of interest lie. For example, an investor must decide whether he is interested in investing in financial assts or real estate investment. He may further need to identify the industry/sector of his interest or that suits his investment objective.
The following indicators may serves as a guide to identifying profitable investment.
o   The data of imports, export and domestic consumption of an article serves as a pointer to the profitability or otherwise of an investment proposal / project. Base upon this figure, an operator will be able to decide on project whose supply is not in excess or product with high level of market demand.
o   A project can also be identified by making use of the input – output model. This model will indicate the input/out that crosses from one industry to the other. This relationship will help to determine the level of investment required to supplement imports. It will also indicate if demand can be expanded and hence the need to embark on new project.
o   A project can be initiated on the basis of identification of raw materials i.e, where there is abundant of raw materials, it may be profitable to embark upon project that make use of these raw materials.

·         Investment formulation, preparation and feasibility analysis


This is the investment simulation stage. It considers theoretical worthiness of the project, then the preparation and feasibility stage which seeks inter alia to find out the degree of feasibility of the investment. This is done by carrying out a feasibility study which collect and analyze data or statement about the project.

·        Project design



This stage sets to ensure that investment is adequately designed to meet the objective of the investor and the demand of the environment. For example, with respect to real investment, if a project is to located in area without water supply, the operator must improvise.

·         Investment appraisal



This is a details investment evaluation stage, during which the worthwhuileness of a project is determined.
The evaluation will inter alia seek to achieve the following;
o   Analyze the market demand to determine the level of demand
o   Collect and analyzed data on the cost structure of the investment
o   Analyze the profitability of the project
o   Identification of sources of raw materials
o   Analyze the manpower (skilled and unskilled) need of the project and its availability or otherwise within the economy

·         Project selection, negotiation financing and approval


Project selection involves making choice out of alternatives. This decision is facilitated through the investment appraisal procedure which must have estimated the profitability and degree of worthwilness of the projects for easy comparison and final choice. The acceptability of a project will therefore require negotiation for supply of machinery and other inputs. It also require making adequate arrangement for its financing operation and installation.
After this stage, the proposal is expected to be presented to the government or board (incase of a company) for evaluation and final approval

·         Monitoring, supervision and control implementation


This stage involves appointment of experts to implement the project (activation). It also includes the formulation of an organization to implement the project by negotiating with suppliers, agents(eg brokers), engineers, etc

·         Supervision, Monitoring and control stage


This stage is very important as it aims at ensuring that the  project is properly completed on time in order to avoid escalation of the project cost which has often been the major cause of projects abandonment or in the case of financial investment to ensure that the investment meet the aspiration of the investor.
Conclusion:   Taking the above steps into consideration, an investor should be conversant or follow those stages in investing on a project.
