Question 3

How do you vet Residents?

Accepted Answer

Our mission is to find someone who will love your home as much as you do, so we don’t cut corners. Our strict Resident vetting process includes a background and credit check, income and employment verification, reference checks, a personal interview with a highly-trained Resident Onboarding Specialist.

Question 4

Can I rent out my home or apartment furnished?

Accepted Answer

The short answer is no, all Belong Homes come unfurnished. And we don't recommend trying to do that on your own either! While you probably have great taste, in general, furnished homes rent for way less than unfurnished homes, and lead to negative experiences down the road if something gets damaged.

Question 5

What type of properties do you work with? Do you rent out apartments?

Accepted Answer

We work with Residential property owners, either single-family or multi-family homes.
Do you already have Residents or have a vacancy? We work with both! If you currently have a Resident, we will introduce ourselves and provide all of the information and resources they need, with no inconvenience to you.
