For people who can't afford to buy a home yet, This article will sweep you off your feet. How would you like to live in your dream home, or even luxury homes for free? I am talking about rent free, no purchase needed! There' s lots of ways for the eager adventurous with just some important qualifications required. To your own discretion, you can choose where and when, when you visit the web sites I listed below on the resources area of this article or do a little bit of research on your own works well too.

Simple explanation: Property owners and homeowners just want their property to be taken care of, and not looked like abandoned whether they are away or goes out for a couple of months during winter time or simply just have an extra property.

For realtors who have been selling luxury homes, they see hiring people to live in their "show homes" to make the place look like lived in is the next big thing other than filling up the vacant home with beautiful furnishings.

Stories you will find over the internet that sounds like to good to be true is everywhere, but well, this one my friend, is happening now and is true.

Difficulty: Challenging
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • good references
  • internet connection
  • application letters
  1. Step 1

    Think about homesitting. Local or international in this category of course.Back in the days, homesitting is just for friends who wants to watch out for the other, but today, more and more people are just hiring qualilfied couples, single or with children more often to do the job for a lot of special reasons. You must be excited now. Don't forget to see the resources under this article where you can find these amazing connections!

  2. Step 2

    Live on the water. Mind living on a boat? Boat owners like their boats maintained and look lived in. Most of it is to prevent from getting stolen and maintenance. Must possess some cleaning boats experience, it can be rewarding if you love being by the water. Live out in the Hawaiian waters or the Keys?

  3. Step 3

    Try roommate bartering. Great for college students. Roommate that will barter for being a housekeeper, or other things like making lunch or picking up prescriptions to baby sitting for a couple of hours a day. Empty nesters and single working people do this these days for desires of carefree living. Advertise yourself on websites, or send out application forms.

  4. Step 4

    Match up programs. This is usually done through the Senior centers where they take in your application and match you up with a senior citizen that lives by themselves and needs a little bit of help with mortgage when their spouse or partner dies. This takes a compassionate person, with the right background of course.

  5. Step 5

    Sign a Boomerang kids contract, and move back in to mom and dad. Your rent will be exchanges for cleaning, repairs, gardening! It could be great too. Imagine the comfort in living in your own home, but into more mature way?! Not only they will love this idea, your folks will surely love to sit with you and compose a boomerang kid contract if you don't have one that is ready. Remember, if you are signing a contract, it is seriously legal. Do your job well!

  6. Step 6

    Apartment Management. Before sending out your application, make sure you are up to it. This could be a lot of responsibility, but to live rent free? why not. Look in craigslist of your hometown or desired place.

Tips & Warnings

  • Always study the legal papers before signing the contract.
  • always be safe
  • everything is not free though. You might have to recieve your mails on a post office box
