if you use a broker, they charge a fee for their services, usually 10-15% of the annual rent. - znufrii Oct 19, 11:36
Some charge a months rent and others a percentage of your yearly rent. - Krusty Oct 19, 11:34 10
- Are brokers required/common? -- nm - ty97 Oct 19, 11:37 9
  - Required no, common I don't know. It all depends on whether you can afford them. You will see better place with a broker then you would find - Krusty Oct 19, 11:42 8
    - This is my thing: If I ever took the plunge, i don't have the money to pay a broker. - ty97 Oct 19, 11:43 7
      - You'll be able to do searches on your own and if your price range is high enough you won't have much trouble finding a good place. - Krusty Oct 19, 11:48 5
        
        I'd doubtlessly have a roommate(s) - ty97 Oct 19, 11:50 3
        
        Roommates will make living here affordable. I have one and it's really helpful. - Krusty Oct 19, 11:55 1
        
        It all depend on the roommate of course, but I have one now and it works great. - ty97 Oct 19, 11:57
        
        I'm being pushed out day by day and Portland is looking awesome right now. - Krusty Oct 19, 11:53
        
        Right now it appears that affordable apts. are scarce. - Krusty Oct 19, 11:49
      - you might not have money to NOT pay a broker. -- nm - loosilu Oct 19, 11:46
