Army veteran applicant

Vivek Kumar
Posted

I got an applicant from army retired. Getting about $4000 and $2500 now as a consultant in a furniture company. He is alone and no pets. He has 1 year of rental history in an apartment leasing.  I checked his 2 year bank statements and looks fine.  His credit score is 620. He only have a auto loan with last 34 payments all on time.  

any red flags etc to check for? I have never had a army veteran as an applicant. So would appreciate any kind of thoughts

I am sorry not sure what you mean

 @Vivek Kumar

What he means is that you should have a checklist for tenant qualifications. For example a tenant has to meet certain qualifications to be able to rent your property: income, credit score, evictions, rental history, criminal history, etc. If you don't have specific prerequisites, you should put some in place. 

Well from my list I dont see any thing negative.  Credit score is acceptable, he has no evictions, have enough income to cover rent comfortable. 

but then i am here as it's useful to learn from others experience for this kind of profile and background that I have no experience with.
