Guaranteed Rent Payment
I have a house for rent at $995 per month. A woman called me and said that her family gets a guaranteed income from their Indian Tribe (casino money) of $2000 per month. Also her husband is going through trucking school and will make plenty of money once he graduates and starts his new job, already lined up.
She also said that she can set it up so that the tribe pays us rent directly each month, then she gets the left over. I would verify all of this, of course. I would also do all the normal background checks.
I know that the $2000 per month isn't anywhere near the 3x rent requirement, but we would get paid first. Then, in a couple of months her husband will be making good money, which would definitely put them over the 3x requirement.
Anyone have this type of situation come up? I would love any feedback on this.
