When the rent pay your mortgage

In these times of crisis we must sharpen their wits to get ahead. Banks do not forgive .

All of us , or nearly all, have mortgages and the work or , better said the income , is scarce. Even if we are one of the lucky ones who earn the same as a while ago , the money does not reach us . Everything is much more expensive : from light, to taxes , to the food, which is basic and necessary !

And what do you do in this situation?

So, in this situation of uncertainty , many Spaniards have chosen to rent their home. And hence sites like Airbnb proliferate on the Internet .

And, this phenomenon occurs not only in Spain . Many citizens of countries considered until recently as "rich" countries which , either for survival or for extra money, have chosen to be the ones that move from their home. They move between booking and reservation. Their home is their friend´s  home, or their parent´s home  , just to be able  to pay your mortgage debts , or just to have money to eat .

What do you think of this story ? Are you one of those owners who rent their home to cope with the cost of the mortgage?

We will deepen this topic , because it has a lot of substance ... and much to discuss . I think !

Trucos para encontrar el apartamento perfecto en Madrid (3)

En el artículo anterior comentamos cuales son los criterios que debemos tener en cuenta para encontrar el apartamento perfecto en Madrid, siendo este el que se adapte a nuestras necesidades en cuanto a presupuesto, zona y tipo de apartamento.

La correcta elección de estas variables van a garantizar nuestra experiencia de Madrid, pues si nos equivocamos, por ejemplo, en la zona donde se encuentra ubicado el apartamento, nos veremos obligados a malgastar nuestro tiempo en desplazamientos innecesarios. Mientras que si elegimos un apartamento en la zona adecuada, tendremos todo al alcance de la mano, y podremos disfrutar más de lo que realmente nos interesa.

Os ofrecemos aquí unas sencillas pautas para acertar en nuestra elección:

Y no sólo conocen los apartamentos y los han seleccionado previamente, sino que conocen las zonas donde se encuentran. Por tanto es primordial que la web que elijamos ofrezca atención personalizada. Y dicha atención sólo nos la puede dar quien conoce en profundidad la ciudad y los apartamentos que ofrece.

Las páginas webs que anuncian apartamentos de muchos sitios y paises poco nos podrán ayudar, pues ofrecen un mero listado de apartamentos, siendo imposible que los responsables, o las personas que nos atienden, conozcan las características de los apartamentos o las zonas donde se encuentran.

2.- Página web que gestionan los apartamentos de forma profesional.

Una página web que anuncia apartamentos que han sido previamente seleccionados nos garantiza que estos cumplen unos criterios de calidad, y que los propietarios o gestores de los apartamentos cumplen con dichos criterios y unas normas claras respecto a la atención al cliente, la solución de problemas y la solución de dudas.

En nuestro próximo articulo nos explicaremos detenidamente cuales son las diferencias entre las páginas web que gestionan apartamentos de forma profesional y aquellas que sólo ofrecen un listado de apartamentos, en las que cualquiera puede anunciar su propiedad.
