Whatever area of Texas you're looking to move to, the short answer is yes, it can be done and only requires three things. 1. You must do your part. In other words, you must be determined to stay focused. 2. Plan for success. If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail! Start saving now, not later. 3. It's imperative that you work with a realtor who understands your specific needs and is willing to be your ally in the leasing journey.

Remember that while finding a place with a low credit score may be more challenging, persistence and transparency can go a long way. Be prepared to provide additional references, proof of income, and demonstrate your ability to pay rent on time. Additionally, it's essential to be cautious and avoid scams when searching for rentals online. If you encounter any suspicious listings, always verify the legitimacy of the rental before proceeding. Good luck with your move to Texas!
Great question! Welcome to Texas (soon anyways! haha)! Though I don't assist with rentals, I can tell you that apartments will be your avenue of least resistance IF your only issue is a low credit score. This issue alone can make it a rough go in Houston, TX, but other determining factors are typically: Rental history (Past broken leases and/or evictions are no good), Income (typically landlords will want to see a minimum of 3x's the monthly rental rate), criminal history (felonious backgrounds are typically not looked upon favorably), Bankruptcies, judgements, and foreclosures will almost always also play a negative role in these things. If we ONLY have credit issues, then you may find someone willing to work with you, but in most cases it'll be with the caveat of something like an increased security deposit or something of that nature! Best of luck to you on your hunt!!
