Renting a home
Does anyone here rent a house? Or would rent a house?
How much do you/would you be willing to pay for a 2-3 BR home?
I am thinking of this as an option while my husband and I are separated so that we can both live elsewhere but not sell the house right away.
Thanks!

Re: Renting a home
Depends on the location. The futher West and North you would get more.

Re: Renting a home
Our home is in central Nassau, good shools, 2-3 BR, close to everything, nice neighborhood. The thing is, it would only work if the rent came close to the mortgage and taxes. I think that may be hard to get.

Re: Renting a home
i've rented a house before, a 2/3 br for 1775. I'm sure there are plenty of people who would rent your house.

Re: Renting a home
I wouldn't consider renting a house just because it is so expensive! you might as well have a mortgage.
however, to answer your Q, I think somewhere around $1700-$2200 (depending on where it is) is a fair price for LI.
just wanted to say... I am in OH visting and DH's aunt has a drop dead gorgeous house on 1/2 an acre. she's renting it for 2 months to a couple from FL and they're paying $1,000 a month!

Re: Renting a home
I would say not over $2000...I personally wouldn't do over $1700 for a 2/3 bedroom...How long are you thinking though? Will you have them sign a year contract? Renting furnished or unfurnished? If they pay movers it really doesn't pay to stay under a year...

Re: Renting a home
My parents own a duplex in Northport -each side is a 3 bedroom, basement, 1.5 bath & rent is for one is $1600. I think they can get more but they like the couple that lives there - so they'll pretty much never raise it because it's better to have a good tenant.
Also they rented out my grandmother's Lake Grove/Stony Brook house for $1600 too. It's a single family 2 bedroom 1 bath w. garage.

Oh, definitely, my mom rents a beautiful apartment in a complex. I think hers is $1800 in Suffolk for 2 bedroom.
