Property Tour: Vantage Med Center

September 22, 2017September 21, 2017 / movemetotx / Leave a comment

Modern High-Rise Living + Move in Specials WITH GREAT views of TMC and Downtown?

Yes, it’s possible. We took a look at Vantage Med Center today, and were blown away by some of the awesome community amenities + the top-notch finishes in this TMC high-rise. We all say we care about the environment, but this building is eco-friendly and holds a LEED certification. Not only will you save money with low-flow fixtures, energy efficient windows, appliances, HVAC, and lighting; but you will also breathe cleaner air (air filtration and ventilation systems) and reduce your carbon footprint!

Some of the fancy amenities we fancied:

Infinity pool overlooking TMC, with tons of deck space, an outdoor kitchen, fire pits, grills, and hammocks.
3,000 sq. foot fitness center with professional equipment (there’s a Jacob’s Ladder here, plus a pull-up rig, rowing machines, yoga room, massage room…)
The usual: conference room, media lounge, resident lounge.
On-site masseuse (Yes, seriously! One of the current move in specials is a free massage!!)
Valet and Concierge
Electric Charging stations

Plus, with move in specials, rate are as low as around $1500 for a 1 bedroom and $2400 for a 2 bedroom.

Property Tour: The Star Houston

September 16, 2017September 12, 2017 / movemetotx / Leave a comment

If you’re familiar with Houston history, you may recognize the Star as the old Texaco office building downtown. This 1915 building has been completely renovated into 286 luxury apartments. Even though the building is still currently under construction, we felt we HAD to share this property – as it’s one of our favorite downtown spots!

A few things we absolutely LOVE about this property:

Location – located in the heart of Downtown, just off the METRORail. If you work Downtown or in the Medical Center, your morning commute just got that much easier.
Club Corp Membership – while the property is still under construction, they are offering all residents a basic 12-month membership.
Luxury Appliances – every kitchen comes with a top-of-the-line appliance package, a convection microwave oven, and a 40+ bottle wine fridge. Hello, dinner parties!
Views – Living in the heart of Downtown has its perks. There are some great city views throughout the property. People watching, anyone?
Half Bathrooms – Does it ever annoy you that people have to walk through your bedroom in order to use the bathroom? Do you just want some privacy? Many floor plans at the Star offer half bathrooms!

Budgeting for a (Rental) Move

April 30, 2016 / movemetotx / Leave a comment

If you’re looking to find a new place to rent, you should make sure you have enough money set aside for both your move in expenses and moving costs!

Wondering how much you can afford? Most landlords will expect your gross income to exceed 3-4x the amount of rent. So, if you’re looking at a home that’s renting for $1,500/mo, you’ll need to make at least $4,500-6,000/mo in gross income (before taxes).

While this is a minimum requirement for landlords, you should consider your monthly financial obligations, like savings, 401(k) deductions, student loans, car payments, insurance, etc. You may qualify for a $1,500/mo home, but do you have that much money to spend?

What can you expect to pay to move in?

Application Fee: Most landlords expect you to pay an application fee when you submit your application. Application fees range between $30-70, depending on the home. While most landlords/management companies will run your credit report, you can sometimes provide a recent credit report for a discounted application fee.
Security Deposit: After you’re approved, your security deposit will be due. This generally needs to be in certified funds (cashiers check or money order). For a rental home, a standard deposit is normally equal to one month’s rent.
- Depending on different factors (ex: market conditions, your credit, the landlord’s qualifications, etc.) the deposit may vary, but you should expect to pay at least one month’s rent.
First Month’s Rent: Your first month’s rent will normally be due a few days before your move in day. In many cases, this will be a full month’s rent.
Pet Fees: Bringing a furry friend with you? You should be prepared to pay a pet fee at the time of move in. These fees are landlord specific. Be sure to ask if the pet fees you’re paying are refundable or non-refundable. Some landlords also charge monthly pet rent.

Disclaimer: These amounts are estimations based on previous transactions and can vary depending on the home/landlord you’re applying for. Please consult the landlord for the home you’re interested for exact qualifications in prior to applying.

Buyer Representation Services

April 21, 2016April 21, 2016 / movemetotx / Leave a comment

Are you looking for a new place to live? Searching for a new home can be a daunting process! Calling different agents and apartment communities, sending tons of e-mails, and being placed on hold gets old after a while! Wouldn’t it be great if you could have ONE point of contact to manage all of this for you? Well, you can!

Apartment Locating and Buyer Representation Services are FREE services provided by licensed real estate sales agents. As professionals, we work for YOU and we are paid by apartment communities, landlords, management companies, and sellers. We’ll do all the work! You just have to let us know what your preferences are, and if you have any “hiccups” that may impede the application process.

Most landlords and apartment communities will run your credit, background, and verify your employment and rental history. Expect to provide the following:

4-8 weeks of paystubs
Credit reports/background checks (the owner will generally run them)
Employment references for the past 2+ years
Landlord information for the past 1-3 years

Keep in mind, qualifications vary between different owners, landlords, and management companies.

To ensure you’re working with a Licensed Agent, you should verify license holder information for any Licensed Real Estate Sales Agents or Brokers on the Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) website by searching by their name or license number.
