Credit Scores
We all have been instructed to set a criteria for the renters we want to attract and are willing to rent to. Brandon's book on managing rentals is a great primer and guide on the subject. I have read articles on what credit scores to accept, i.e., 600+, 700+, etc. What I don't have a good handle on is how to set my company's acceptance standard and what specific scores mean. How credit worthy is someone with a 615 score as compared to a 675, for instance.
What number do you use, why, what does it mean, and what type of renters do you get in exchange for your score?
Thanks,
Bob
