Default Moving To Boone/Ames Area
My wife and I (and our dog) are moving back to the Boone/Ames area soon, and we are looking for houses to rent, but don't see much online. I grew up in Boone, but I'm not sure how to secure a house before we get there. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hi Daniel,

I understand your predicament! Most people in your situation opt to have a friend or relative personally visit any rental they are considering. Craigslist and high volume real estate offices often have information on single family rentals that aren't available on other paid ad sites.

Be cautious about wiring a deposit, though. There have been several Craigslist scams where the individuals who posted the rental information did not own or manage the property. It's easy to verify who owns a property by visiting the county assessor's website.
