It appears that even though I had perfect rent here for years and years and my mortgage was paid on time and agreed that the medical bills are hurting me in a big way. The realtor has to have a certain score which I don't have. Even with excellent rental history and mortgage history. I am meeting those two this evening but what I'm told I need to find a rent by owner. They don't have those score issues and really concentrate on rental and mortgage.
I had my daughter drive us around and could not find by owner.
Not sure if these two don't work out what I can do
.need your prayers. We need a home. 4951

@Ann2800: Keep your head up. Being patient is key at least you we're given a decent heads up. A little adversity can bring out the best in you sometimes..you'll find your way soon enough!

Crap - I'll be keeping you both in my prayers. (Is there any chance your daughter could apply? I'm not sure if she is still in school, or something.) 4951

I Googled "Rent By Owner Houston" and found several resources.http://www.forrentbyowner.com/?showpage=/classifieds/&****ingwood   - This one is a listing of Texas properties that are listed as rent by owner.  I typed in Kingwood but you can also type in zip code, etc.  This is a direct link to my Kingwood search on the site. Don't forget to include Atascocita and Humble, so you can include Oakhurst, Walden, Eagle Springs, Summerwood, Fall Creek, etc., all beautiful master-planned communities and neighborhoods, just a few minutes outside of Kingwood.  There were a few others that function just like this, including a link for Craigslist. 4951

I'd also add that you should talk to the neighbors around the rental house. Ask about the neighborhood, how long the house has been available, their opinion of the owner, etc. 4951

Good luck @Ann2800.  I did a rent by owner 7 years ago and found it because someone had driven by and saw them putting the sign on the front lawn and told me.  I still had to pay for a background check on both my DH and I and show bank statements and rental history.  I was in the process of filing for bankruptcy because I was unable to work when I was pregnant with my DD due to a high risk pregnancy and then could just never catch up.  They had us pay a month and a 1/2 security instead of just a month and a non-refundable pet deposit.  We just signed the 7th lease and they always tell us we are the best tenants they ever had and from what I've been told by neighbors the longest.Let us know if you want to start packing some stuff up so that you are not doing it all at the last minute while you are still looking.  Keep out what you need and pack the rest so you are ready when the perfect place for you comes up.I will let you know if I see anything.  I am praying for you. 4951

There is one in Hunter's Ridge.  Is is off Deer Brook about 3 or 4 blocks from Northpark on the right side.  I forget the cross street however if you reach Park Garden you went too far.  Light colored house with green trim on the corner. 4951

Be careful. Getting a rental home at that price, potential to get screwed goes up, especially rent by owner. If you find something check it out, make sure it's not under water or something. Meantime, I would also look at apartments. You had a great deal at that house. Those deals are extremely hard to find. Not saying it's impossible but keep all your options open. I had to rent an apartment for work and they were extremely picky. Had to make a certain amount over the rent. I would also look at a co-op place. My MIL lives in one and she likes it.   4951

If you need someone to check out the house, I'll be glad to do it. For free, of course. Assuming it is in Kingwood.Dan the Handyman 4951

I was a landlord and did rent by order all the time.  It was better than paying the realtor the $$ for doing little to nothing.

Never understood why someone would hire a realtor to rent out their property. Still going to have to pay the same costs to get someone evicted either way, actually more because basically giving the realtor a whole month of rent for doing nothing and you still have to pay court costs. 4951
