Switching from owning a home to renting an apartment

Switching from owning a home to renting an apartment

I live primarily in Colorado Springs.

However, I am sometimes expected to relocate briefly due to my job.

I might spend anywhere from a month to a year in a new location. At one time, I owned my own home. Whenever I was going to be away for an extended stay, I rented it out. A lot of people are interested in a fully furnished home in Colorado Springs. It is such a beautiful area. The arrangement worked out well. A short while ago, I had a very different and unpleasant experience. I was required to spend eighteen months in the northeastern part of the country. I rented my home to a family for the duration. When I returned, my house was destroyed. Although the rental agreement specified no pets, there was obvious damage from multiple dogs. The house smelled of dog urine. The moldings, floors, doors and furnishings were scratched and chewed. There was an abundance of fur and an infestation of fleas. I was faced with broken windows, handles missing from cupboards, stained appliances and clogged drains. There were holes in the walls, burns in the carpets and tears in the couch cushions. At that point, I decided to change my living arrangement. I figured it would make my life a lot easier to rent an apartment rather than own a home. Instead of going through the lengthy and expensive ordeal of a conventional sale of the property, I reached out to a cash home buyer. I found a local company that purchases properties in as-is condition. I wasn’t asked to make any repairs. There was no demand for an inspection. I didn’t have any worries over an appraisal. There weren’t any fees or commissions. The entire process was completed in under ten days. I received the full amount. This allowed me to pay first and last month’s rent and buy some new furnishings.
