What should I compare between build-to-rent homes?
- Base rent versus the total monthly price with required fees (trash, pest control, smart-home or amenity fees).
- Who handles lawn care and yard upkeep, and which utilities you set up yourself.
- Garage type and parking: attached, detached, carport or driveway only.
- Yard size and fencing for the exact floor plan, not just the model home.
- Pet fees, pet rent and any breed or weight rules.
- How a move-in special is applied and the minimum lease term it needs.
- Your commute at the times you actually drive it; most BTR communities are in outer suburbs.
