October 6, 2010 Alejandro Lazo – LA Times: In a sign that the nation’s foreclosure crisis is taking a toll, renters surged into the U.S. apartment
market in the third quarter, pushing up rents and driving down vacancies.
The national vacancy rate fell to 7.2% in the third quarter from 7.8% the second quarter, one of the sharpest drops on record, according to New York-based real estate research firm Reis Inc. Rents increased 0.6% to an average of $$980 a unit over the same period as landlords were able to cut back on free rent and other incentives that had been used to attract and retain tenants in a weak market.
Economists said they expected the trend to continue. Former homeowners who lost their properties to foreclosure are now pouring into the rental market. Meanwhile, tightened credit standards are making it tougher for potential buyers to qualify for a home loan, despite low interest rates.
The U.S. homeownership rate has declined swiftly. (Read on…)
In the age of online ratings, your reputation depends on knowing what’s being said about you and how to react.
With the proliferation of online rating sites, consumers can disseminate their unfiltered opinions about your brokerage and your sales associates within seconds. And although the trend may be a good thing when the reviews are positive and truthful, it’s not so great when the comments are negative and possibly even false.
“That’s the bad part about the Internet. People can make things up,” says Mia Melle, broker and president of Renttoday.us, a property management company in Ontario, Calif.

Yes, Renttoday.us is in the press once again being interviewed as an expert on how to negotiate a home offer!
We love to get our 15 minutes so take a look at the article and feel free to skip down to the bottom. They apparently saved the best for last 
How to Negotiate a Home Offer by Christina Couch, posted Aug 10th 2010 1:01PM
Patricia Golden is not the kind of woman you low ball with a home offer. After purchasing a home in Richmond, Va. for under $100,000, Golden decided to flip it for a tidy profit.
“I was working in Washington, D.C. at the time and hoping to transfer to Richmond, so I was only living in the house on weekends,” the retired federal worker recounts. “It took me three years to (Read on…)
So, I was reading this book the other day (YES, I read…thank you very much!) and the author, Guy Kawasaki (super good book by the way) said in one of his chapters that every company should have a “mantra”. What’s a mantra? Well as opposed to a long, boring, generic mission statement that says something like….”through leadership and dedication we strive to be the blah, blah, blah”, it’s a short, to the point 4 or 5 word statement that explains why your company even exists! I thought that was a really great idea and that thought led me to thinking about the mantra for Renttoday.us! Why DO we exist? What IS the point of our company and what do we do to serve our clients? Hmmmmmm…..thoughts and ideas were bouncing off the walls like bottle caps at a bah mitzvah (i have no idea what that means). Anyway, I came up with 4 words that to me are the cornerstones of why Renttoday.us exists, why we even bother waking up in the morning to subject ourselves to the cruel and heartless world of property management, and what keeps that flame burning bright motivating us each and every day to steamroll over anyone that dares to get in our way (Read on…)
Remember Pat Benetar? She sang “Love is a Battlefield”. Well, if that is true than rental property ownership must be a nuclear land mine for gosh sakes! There are literally multitudes of things that can go less than perfect at every turn and if you let each and every one of them get under your skin, you are bound for destruction! What am I talking about? Really…. just life in general which also happens to apply to owning a rental property. In life, a smart, level headed person (Read on…)
Here at Renttoday.us, we like our 15 minutes of fame as much as we can get it and here’s the latest article we were quoted in! And, if you are a tenant looking to negotiate your rent…it may be some good reading!
Amy Pyle – June 15th, 2010 As the housing market continues to flounder, a growing number of homeowners are ditching their mortgage for a lease. And many renters who once thought about buying homes, have decided to hold off. For now, the market is on renters’ side, but that could soon change.
Negotiating a cheaper rent now before (Read on…)
