Alan Burton • Sep 08, 2023

In the competitive world of real estate, finding the perfect rental home can be a daunting task. As a trusted property management company, MPIRE Properties is here to simplify the process and help you secure your dream rental. In this comprehensive guide, we'll share expert tips, strategies, and insider knowledge to make your rental search a breeze.


  1. Defining Your Requirements:
  • Determine if you’re searching for a single-family home, apartment, duplex or townhome. Consider aspects such as pet-friendliness, yard upkeep and privacy concerns.
  • Consider what size of unit you are needing – how many bedrooms do you want? Do you need a garage or carport?


  1. Navigating the Neighborhoods:
  • Consider the importance of location – do your children already attend a certain school district, and you want to keep them in their schools? Do you want to be closer to work?
  • We have wonderful rental options in Great Bend, Ellinwood, Hoisington, Russell, Larned, Pratt, Sylvan Grove, Glasco, Abilene and Concordia, Kansas. Each community we serve has its unique characteristics.


  1. Budgeting for Your Rental:
  • Determine your monthly budget for your rental. Pay close attention to utilities and see which utilities are included with the rent prices. In addition to rent, most rentals require electricity, gas, water, internet, television and potentially trash.


  1. Leveraging Online Resources:
  • MPIRE Properties keeps our website updated on our current available listings. By using our search function filters, you can narrow down to only see homes that meet your criteria above. You can see our vacancies at www.MPIREProperties.com/vacancies

  1. Working with our Property Managers:
  • While we work diligently to keep our website updated with our current rental property availability, you can also get ahead of the market by working with our property managers to see which properties may be available soon. You can reach out to our property managers at leasing@mpirecompanies.com

By following the advice outlined in this guide, you'll be well-prepared to embark on your journey to find the perfect rental home. At MPIRE Properties, we're committed to helping you every step of the way, ensuring that you have a seamless and enjoyable experience in your new rental. Happy house hunting!
