Potential tenants transitioning from the military in Alaska

[Philip Mullinax]

Good afternoon,

I have a question about screening potential tenants who are transitioning from the Military and moving from Alaska.  The husband will be receiving his military paycheck until February, but they do not have jobs lined up in North Carolina yet.  I have asked for a cosigner who currently has the adequate income to make the rental payment and a good credit score.  Do you think adding the  cosigner will cover my basis on renting to the couple?  I empathize with them being that far away and transitioning out of the military, but I also want to cover my basis making the house payment.  I appreciate everyones input.
