Becky Alvstad
What did you learn that was important from Becky? What did you not learn that you wanted to?
I learned that the person looking at your renting application does complete background checks. They check your credit, criminal history, and type of person you are. They go to your employers, previous landlords and references. So to rent, you need to leave a good impression, or they might deny you. I also learned that having a lease per tenant is easier since responsibility for their actions is on them. There wasn't anything I didn't learn that I wanted to.
She was very helpful and did a good job explaining a rental process and the research land owners do and how to make it ore affordable with more applicants and ways to get around having bad credit and how to build credit.
Becky was able to provide all of us with detailed information regarding co-renting, leasing, renting with children, co-signing with parents, and the difference between occupants and leasers. I wish she talked about credit scores more, yet she was able to clarify some questions I had about it, such as how credit scores can change the options that are available to you for renting, which includes increased down payments/first month rentals. The utilities she posted on the projector were kind of confusing, and really overpriced, so I was hoping she would enlighten us on why the prices were spiked so high, but she didn't so I wasn't able to figure out if utilities are that expensive at most rentals, and if they are actually all one single payments or if they depend on your usage.

I've learned from this is,to do a share rent with a responsible person and make sure you pay on time. Try to keep a sturdy job and do your best. Don't post bad pictures on your social media it can cause you issues later on.
I learned so much about renting and the things that I need and will benefit me in getting a rental house. Making sure I got good background, picking the right references, and making sure I have enough money that can pay my rent in time. Making sure that you have good credit is also very important.
I learned that having multiple leases is the best way to rent a house with your friends why did she come to tell us about houses and apt that we cant even rent because they aren't in state.
that in some places you can have several leases, so that each person has there own lease. if you are able to add roommates later on or if you have to wait tell that lease is up.
I learned a lot of interesting things from the guest speaker yesterday. These things included many facts about renting and the process of getting into a rental. We were informed about the red flags that property management companies look for when selecting applicants and how important it is to not post things online that could discredit you. You also should choose personal references that won't say too much or too little about you. I honestly learned a lot, and had many of my questions answered. I wish I could have possibly learned a little bit more about having your parents co-sign with you.
Becky’s presentation I felt like it was beneficial because if I were to rent an accommodation after LCC I would know the exact process I would have to take in order to get a rental. I also learned about the extensive background check that she does on the participants that want to live in the apartment. She checks the applicants social media’s, checks with former rental companies, previous places of work and any other procedures in order to assure that the renter will be able to make timely payments and be a right fit for the place of rent.
Arleth Serratos Hernandez Becky was able to provide information to the class yesterday that was crucially essential to new renters. I learned a lot about the process of an application and the journey that it goes through to be finalized. i learned that many agencies do background checks and also look you up on social media and or if you don't have a renters history. i would have liked to know a little bit more about the process of them checking your credit and a potential arrangement to build it up through rent.
I learned a lot of information about renting from Becky, I learned how extensive the application process and background check was, including looking into your social media accounts. She answered all the question I had about the renting process.
I thought Becky did a great job explaining the rental business and really breaking it down so we could understand better. I found it interesting how our social media can impact how a rental company sees you and how they can turn you away if you seem creepy or just have a bad vibe. I liked how she told us her experiences with renting and what worked and didn't work for her, it's always nice to hear about different options and how they worked out for people in real life, not just what looks good on paper.
Becky was very informative about the whole rental process. Like what is looked for in applicants, who they talk to in background checks, credit, and rental payments. I also liked that she gave specific examples from her own experiences and how she was affected by them.
what i learned was that sometimes they check your social media accounts to check on how that person is so they can let them rent or not also make sure to have good credit and she was very good at explaining things and making sure you take your time on the application.
Becky taught me a lot about the application process for renting a house or apartment. I also learned how credit could affect your chances at getting a good lease for said apartment or house. I honestly didn't realize the effort that people would put in to get good tenants. Additionally I learned how bad being evicted is.
Becky Alvstad provided the ins and outs of leasing an apartment, suite, or house. I was informed about the application process and how every property manger's is different, Becky's application allowed roommates to sign up on one application. I'm more confident applying for an apartment with roommates, thanks to this presentation.
Becky Alvstad had good information that the class presented to me, as I was absent. I found the information about rooming with a roommate very helpful, since I am going to be having roommates in college. The renter information in a whole was helpful as I will be renting before purchasing a home.
It was interesting to learn that they check your social media when you are trying to get into an apartment. I also learned how extensive the application and background check are. This was very helpful information to know for future reference.
The speaker was very helpful with property management. She told us that it is better to not get a pet right now until later because most places don’t allow animals. She also say that most places could deny you for no reason just because they don’t like you, they just can’t tell you that, that’s the reason they denied you. She said that technically you have to be really good person or at least look like a good person to more likely get approved. She said that you usually have to have some credit to get a place and that the credit has to be good. But they also said that it’s okay if they don’t have credit because if your still in school you would more likely not have credit. They check everything about you to see if your good or not, they background check you, they check your facebook and instagram to see if you party all the time. They more likely to take the more chill type people than the party animal people.
I learned a lot from Becky Alvstad! She was very informative about all things renting/buying. The information that stood out the most to me was the application process, the rules put onto tennates and some discriminations that could be made against you. The application process when wanting to potentially rent is actually a lot more simple than I thought but still a little more time consuming than I assumed. A very important fact that I learned is that there may almost alway be an application fee and that the apartment managers might ask you for either a month of rent which you may or may not get back once they’re done looking over your application. There are a lot of rules to being tenant some we learned yesterday is any property damage you pay for, curfew for sounds, not being able to work on cars sometimes , ect. One question I wish I would’ve asked is “How soon should you inform your landlord about any changes in your life, example; if you need to dogsit, if you’re expecting, if you need to move for a job ect.”
Sharing a rent and putting different applicants on a lease is a good way to save money. You have to be a good applicant otherwise you won’t apply for the house and if there’s someone else who has something better than you, they will take them instead (money, status, criminal history, ect.) all determine your qualifications.
Yesterday I learned a lot. I learned that the go though or personal life ie social media and make sure we are the appropriate people for their rental. If they find anything they think is sketchy the will not accept of application. I also learned that the do rental expectations to make sure you are taking care of the rental and that everything is okay.They also . I also learned that anyone that will be living in your house for more than 2 weeks has to be on the application and they also will check their social media. They will also check to make sure you have a good paying job that could cover your rent at least 30%.
She basically told us the basic routine of going through an application. She said that she looks through social media, and all the rules that you have to follow because you can get evicted if you dont. She also says that you have to pay a deposit for certain things, like pets. Also, its ok if you dont have credit, because everyone starts somewhere
Becky was very helpful in understanding how to apply to rent or buy a house, and all the restrictions they have when wanting an application. I learned that there are a lot of rules when wanting to rent or buy houses, so always be careful what you do and how it will affect your future.
I learned a lot from this guest speaker like to check your social media because they look through them and google your name. they also background check you. i also learned about how much money it is to keep a pet and the limits on the pets you can have.
The guest speaker taught us the various steps renters and property managers go through to getting a house. The information provided was really eye opening and thorough.
i learned a lot from the guest speaker. i learned how rates can be subject to change without a set lease, and that most of the time its best to have a set lease so it doesnt end up costing more. i also learned about pet policies and different renters insurance options.
Some of the seemingly most important things I learned from Becky Alvstad (Property Management) revolved around how property managers investigate applicants. I was intrigued by how, much deep into personal lives they go. For example, how property managers look at social media and make logical decisions about applicants based on what they see in photos and posts. Despite the initial shock of hearing this, it actually does make a lot of sense. How someone shows themself in their personal life is typically a good indicator of their character. Overall, I didn’t leave class with any questions unanswered. I came into class with no questions and every topic addressed was adequately covered.
Becky offered a lot of insight into the general process of renting, but I think my favorite aspect of her speech was seeing it from the perspective of the landlord. Knowing that landlords can use their personal judgement to turn someone away makes me feel a bit more comfortable about my safety going into the renting process. I also hadn’t been giving enough weight to the competitive aspect of securing rentals. It’s encouraged me to actively improve my credit score and keep my records strong.
I wasn’t at school yesterday to hear the speakers about property management. Basically, what I learned from my peers is that there are many standards that go into determining if someone is ready to rent. Property management will conduct background searches and get credit reports to learn everything about you. They can and might search into social media to see if there’s any factors online that might make someone a bad tenant. There are rules against partying, having too many people in the house, having pets, and many other factors. Even if they don’t know about these things, neighbors will snitch. Also, apparently credit doesn’t have to be that big of a deal because “everyone starts somewhere” and no credit isn’t necessarily a bad thing. She also talked about the process of going through an application to rent property.

I learned that at times they look at your social medias to see what your conduct is.

ReplyDeleteTo be hones t i'm impressed with her screening process, and i'm happy to know there is a strict noise curfew with most rentals. :-)
