SMART THING TO DO TO DETERMINE IF THE HOME IS WITHIN YOUR BUDGET: Call the electric (West Penn Power) and gas (Columbia Gas) companies and obtain the "average monthly bill based upon the 12 most recent months of usage" for this address. Takes 1 minute of the customer service rep's time to give you this info. Then, add those amounts to the monthly rent $950, monthly sewage $45, monthly grass cutting $50, your current monthly WiFi bill, your current monthly water bill, and about $35 monthly for trash, and you'll have your absolute grand total monthly costs for rent, electric, gas, water, sewage, trash, grass cutting, and Wifi. You'll know then if you can COMFORTABLY afford the home, allowing for unexpected and/or emergency expenses of course. IF you determine that you can COMFORTABLY afford the home's rent and utilities, feel free to reach out and tell me your details. Suggestions: 1. Are you in a lease now and when does it end? 2. What is your needed move-in date? 3. Who will be living in the home? 4. Do you have pets? Provide ALL the usual details about each pet please. NOTE: I MEET ALL PETS and they are subject to MY approval. Insurance company has STRICT AND UNWAVERING RULES so please let's not waste each other's time. 5. 90 days paystubs for the MOST RECENT 90 days for all working adults who will be living in the home. 6. Anything else you'd like to share! Once I obtain a move-out date from the current tenants (end of 2025), I will determine the home's availability date, and everyone who has been pre-qualified will be contacted to meetup to tour the home and to get to know each other!
