Assessment: First, we assess your unique situation, taking into account your rental history and credit challenges. We only ask that you’re completely honest! Why? We’ll for starters we use our knowledge to help you the best we can but we can only do that when you give us the complete picture!

Personalized Search: We use this information to curate a list of properties that match your needs, focusing on property managers and communities who are known to be flexible.

Austin Area Rental Trends & Statistics

As we navigate affordability of apartment rentals in Austin, renters might find more favorable options and potentially better deals when they choose to work with one of our apartment experts. However, the long-term implications of the increasing rental market prices remain to be seen, as market dynamics can shift rapidly in response to economic factors and land-use laws that recently passes. Currently the following trends have taken shape:

• The citywide median rent has dipped to $1,443, marking a substantial 7.2% decrease from the previous year.
• This downward trend in rents has been ongoing for about a year now and will likely continue through 2024/2025.

Factors Driving the Market

• A surge in apartment construction, with about 40,000 new units started in 2022, is increasing supply and will continue as we approach 120,000 new units coming online.
• Population growth that drove prices up during the pandemic has slowed but people are still moving here!
• The increased housing supply is giving renters more options and bargaining power which is why we often work to find our clients the best rental concesisons like 4 weeks free – even for 2nd chance properties!

Rent Prices by Unit Type Across Austin

• Studio apartments: $1,255 (up 26% annually)
• 1-bedroom apartments: $1,474 (down 8% annually)
• 2-bedroom apartments: $1,816 (down 5% annually

Market Position in the United States

• Austin ranks as the 47th most expensive large city in the U.S. for renters.
• The median rent in Austin ($1,443) is 2.7% higher than the national median ($1,405) which is still up there and even more expensive if you want to be close to downtown.

How Our Experience and Credentials Help You

When you’re on the hunt for a second chance apartment locator, you want pros who know their stuff. For starters, you could check with TREC to see when an agent was licensed and how long they have been licensed. Imagine hiring a guide for a hike—wouldn’t you prefer someone who knows the trails like the back of their hand rather than a novice? Here’s how you can verify if your locator meets the mark:

Personalized Service vs. Generic Listings: Why settle for a one-size-fits-all approach when you can have tailored service? Personalized attention from an apartment locator who specializes in credit and background issues can make a world of difference. Don’t expect someone who specializes in luxury downtown apartment rentals to be knowledgeable about screening and underwriting criteria in South Austin all the way up to Round Rock.

Tailored Recommendations: Every respectable Realtor or licensed real estate agent knows that those who offers customized assistance is a specialist in their craft. If you were going to buy a house as a first time buyer, you might benefit more from working with an agent that has helped dozens of people buy their first home since they know what questions you’ll have and how to best navigate the complexities of the transaction. You definantely would not want to hire a listing agent who only focuses on selling homes. Every person is different, a one-size-fits-all approach rarely works; what does work is a customized plan with a person that knows their boundaries and what they are good at. If you have any doubts, ask questions!

Stay on track with continuous support – our team is invested in your success from start to finish.: The right locator is more than just a finders’ service – they’re a partner who’ll stick with you through thick and thin, making sure you’re thrilled with your new place just like a recent client who was initially denied for an apartment community on the edge of Round Rock and Georgetown who had a broken lease with almost a $2500 balance who was denied because the screening company also found another balance close to $300 that was listed as “residential property debt” on their record even though the client said it was not. We disputed the transaction and screening results and guess what happened next? THEY WERE APPROVED!

Our Client’s Success Stories

Mark’s Story: Overcoming an Eviction
Mark had been through a rough patch that led to an eviction on his record. As the leader of his family, he was struggling to find an apartment that would approve their application. After multiple denials and hundreds of dollars lost in application fees, Mark decided to work with a second chance apartment locator. We guided her to an apartment community in South Austin that was open to renters with past evictions and property debt. With some guidance on how to strengthen his application, he was approved and moved into apartment community where they could start fresh, work to pay off the property debt and look forward to the future. Mark was thrilled to finally find stability for their children after weeks of uncertainty and it was truly heart warming when he cried after getting approved. It stired my faith in humanity be recognizing that while he was turned down elsewhere and didn’t have anyone that would give him the time of day to help him – we did!

Jason’s Story: Bouncing Back from Credit Problems
Jason’s credit score had taken a hit after a series bills left him in debt. He had been denied by several apartments in Austin and was losing hope. Jason reached out to us, and with our knowledge of second chance leasing, we connected him with a property that looked beyond his credit score and got him closer to work between Jarrell and North Austin. By submitting his stable income documents and being able to pay a larger deposit/opportunity risk fee, Jason was able to get approved. He moved into an apartment close to his job and was relieved to have found a place that saw him as more than just a number on a credit report.

Tony’s Story: Navigating Background Issues
Tony had a background issue stemming from a mistake when he drove back from Colorado with some THC and CBD gummies. He faced a felony and while it was deferred adjudication he had faced repeated rejections when searching for housing. Frustrated and discouraged, Tony turned to a second chance apartment locator. We understood his situation and were able to connect him with an understanding property manager at a complex in South Austin that was more flexible with background issues. We helped him tour the property, present his case, submit to screening and explaining how his situation had changed for the better. Thanks to our support, Tony was approved and now enjoys his new apartment, excited to put his past behind him as he works from home and their onsite clubhouse/community room.
