When dreaming of owning a home, it’s easy to get lost in all the benefits that buying and owning a home gives you. Yet, do you ever dream about renting and the benefits it can give you?  

Let’s face it, renting doesn’t hold the same curb appeal that buying a home does. However, renting does have a lot of benefits and perks that buying a home does not. For example, the deposit on a rental is going to be cheaper than a down payment on a house. 

Here’s an article that goes into details on 9 of the most beneficial reasons renting is better than buying! Spoiler Alert: not all of them have to do with money!

With gyms still being closed or requiring you to wear a mask while working out, staying at home to exercise in your rental is starting to sound better and better. Yet, you’ve probably always shied away from it because you weren’t sure what to do.

After a year that led everyone to spending more time than ever inside their home, the new year allows for you to reimagine what your living space could look like with added comforts and function.

When it comes to looking through the new home design or décor trends for the year, there will be certain trends like redoing your floors, painting your walls, and knocking down walls (or putting them up) that just isn’t doable when living in a rental. Yet, with every new trend there is usually a way you can incorporate it on some level without damaging or updating your rental.

Take a look at what you’ll start to see in homes and rentals across the country this year!

All holidays and celebrations this year have required us to be creative and find the joy in the small everyday things that are right in front of us. Just like all of the other holidays this season, the CDC stills suggests you limit your gatherings to the people you are in direct contact with on a daily basis (i.e. your roommates). Even with places being closed and the ability to throw a party with a large group of people has been squashed it doesn’t mean that this New Year's Eve celebration will be a dud.  

In fact, we found 11 different ways you can spice up and enjoy your New Year’s Eve celebrations in the safety of your rental this year. 

Procrastinating until the bitter end to finish your holiday shopping? You’re not the only one, so don’t feel alone.

Most people procrastinate this long because they have no idea what to get someone for the holiday. Yet, with time running out for being able to find it in stock online and ship in time for Christmas, we want to help with a few gift ideas for small spaces!

Here are a few good ideas that will help to spark some great ideas for last minute holiday gifts for your friends and family members who live in a small space!

With restrictions being tightened around the country, but especially in California, the question floating around is, “has COVID-19 canceled Christmas?” Of course not! It has only shifted how we look at the holiday. Some traditions will be placed on pause for the year while others will require some pivoting in order to keep everyone safe.

This holiday season will likely look different to you than previous ones, just like the rest of 2020. Not only will there be less people at your family and friends' holiday celebrations, there will be less food sharing and face-to-face time. While that may be the case, it doesn’t mean you can’t send Grandma’s famous gingerbread cookies to everyone who will miss your holiday celebrations this year!

While you’re baking grannie's cookies, why not add a few other delicious treats to the box and really send them a good old fashioned box of holiday goodies? We’ve found eight treats that are easy to make and safe to send through the mail without fearing they’ll be crumbles by the time they arrive.
