My family and I will be moving into the area in January. The Holly Springs/ Apex area preferably.

We will be needing a 4 bedroom rental in a good school area for about 6 months until we buy a home.

All the home rentals I have seen are 1 year leases. Am I beating my head against a wall looking for only a 6 month lease?

Down payment & credit check are not a problem, if that helps.

I've seen them out there, but sometimes they charge a bit more for the six month lease. That always bugged me, however. But, I've seen them.

I can check with my agent if you like. I was actually going to purchase an additional home out there to use as a rental, but I'm new from L.A. and did not know the rental market very well, so I waited (wish I had now).

Anyway, I think renting is a good idea. I bought almost immediately, but now that I know the lay of the land, I may have purchased elsewhere that had faster appreciation (though this house and land is great!).

Nonetheless, it's probably a good idea, as well, to start searching for homes to buy just so that you can get accustomed to the market. I know there is a lot to handle, but it'll be worth it.

And if I come across anything (Cary included), I'll PM you with the details. Good luck. Sorry I could not be of any immediate help.

Renting before you buy is a good option to get to know the area. I did that, as well as alot of my clients. I sent you a pm. Let me know if I can still help you with that rental. Have a nice weekend.

There is a section on Craigslist that has people subletting & rental properties with a shorter lease---you may want to look there, that is where we found the 6mo. lease.

Good luck!
