The real estate slump in Tampa isn’t just affecting those trying to buy and sell homes - it’s affecting people who are offering properties for rent, as well! There are so many homes and apartments and townhomes for rent right now that buyers have their pick of any number of homes. A friend of ours who is renting had her choice of several different homes in the same neighborhood, and they got not only a great deal on rent, but included utilities and pest control too!

People all over the US can turn to Rentals.com to check out houses for rent - instead of a bland black and white ad, like you’ll find in the newspaper, you’ll get to see a full listing for each rental, and pictures too. I took a look at the Tampa listings to see what was out there, and found a TON of great homes to choose from. Pools and fenced yards and all sorts of added perks. The site is getting so much traffic right now, I can’t even access it - wow! You can search by state and then narrow down your results to a metro area, so that you won’t miss a single home for rent when you’re doing your search.

I think this rental home in Tampa is my favorite. I love the dormers and the metal roof, the hardwood floors and the water views.
