👉 Financing

👉 Deposit size

👉 Conditions

👉 Closing terms

👉 And even the reputation of the buyer’s real estate agent

It’s important that you account for all of these details when submitting an offer.

Housing crunch sparks rental-market innovations in Bakersfield

Christina Lennox, top, and James Stallworth founded Brownstone Shared Housing, which for $500 per month rents sleeping pods like the ones pictured inside a 1,400-square-foot home in central Bakersfield.

Tight housing conditions in Bakersfield have prompted new thinking in the way landlords approach rental arrangements, including a dormitory-like setup that fits as many as six strangers into the same bedroom using bunk beds.

Two new, unrelated businesses hoping to expand to other markets have begun working with local tenants in search of unconventional housing situations, such as a short-term lease or a fully furnished home.

The arrangements are not for everyone, and both companies say they are careful about screening of tenants to ensure compatibility. But for people with special requirements or who are working on a tight budget, the two companies may point to a partial solution for renters trying to find somewhere to stay in a city experiencing historically low vacancies.
