How to Screen Tenants Moving in from OOS with no Job?

Tim Kaminski

BP,

Have a rental in Tampa that I have been trying to rent out and have been getting quite a few inquiries from potential tenants moving into the area...WITH NO JOB.

This might be an easy answer but is it worth working with them to find a solution to this?  My main point is that I require the 3x Income and they have no job lined up.  Tenants say they will look for work when they get down here but I don't want to take the chance that they can't find anything or what they find is below my requirements.

Should I ask for bank statements or is that strange?  Should I require 3 months (M2M) up front? More?

  This is first property if you can't tell. 

Thanks!
