Would you rent a house you have not seen the inside of? I think if it was an older property, and didn't look well maintained I would say no, but look at these two homes. They are cute, new and well maintained so in our situation I would say, yes, but Brody still says, no way. The home I am most interested in is only 3 years old and had only one previous tenant, which was a single older lady. Since there is someone currently living in it the owner is not comfortable letting me have someone go through and take pictures of the inside to email me. She doesn't have any pictures online because she's a little older and not current with technology, so she's kinda old fashion but still very professional. The property owner allows no pets and no smoking. The interior has high ceilings, italian tile throughout main rooms, bathrooms and kitchen, carpeted bedrooms, neutral paint, french doors leading to a patio, backyard, and storage. This house is also in the nicest part of town. It is only 3/4 mile to church and 2 miles to Brody's work. I can tell by talking to the owner on the phone that she is very passionate about her properties. They are very nice, and before I would move in she would personally go through with professional cleaners and maintenance and make sure everything was in perfect condition. I would be able to go through the home before I signed the lease and even have someone go through and take pictures at the end of the month when the tenant moves out, but by then my other rental options would not be available anymore. Would you rent a house without seeing the inside?

I would totally do it if you are still able to back out until the last second! For the price of 1 plane ticket to go out and see it in person you could almost pay to have the carpets shampooed and paint the walls (if your landlord will let you). Have you seen HG TV? No matter what the place looks like before it looks great with a fresh coat of paint! Bathrooms and kitchens can be scary, but if a professional cleaning crew is taking care of that I say your golden. :) Good luck, how exciting!
With the other details you have I would say YES! It looks really cute!
Y-E-S.
Yes, yes, yes.
If it doesn't turn out as great as it seems it sounds as if you can back out. *I would get that in writing.
And...what great posts you will have to share!
Okay, I totally see what you are saying and I see where Brody is coming from. First off, Not sure why you would want to move away from Abbey Church, but do you remember what happened to Marci and Adam when they moved? They even had someone go and look at it. So Good luck on that one. oh and Joseph wants to know if Baylor can come and play!
I did! It sounds like you really have a good situation, plus you can always back out of it if it doesn't work out.
Lewis rented their place on line when they moved to Connecticut for dental school. It was a disaster! Horrible inside! So so bad so you know my answer. Good luck.
What did you decide to do since I am a bit late in responding to this post?
