Credit score requirements
What do you normally require for a credit score? Also do you ever modify it for a particular location or property?
Our current rental is in a small town and there seems to be some discussion if we should lower the credit score requirements for the area. I chose 600 as the requirement. I want to make sure that I'm being realistic but at the same time not lowering my standards too much. We just listed the property so it's not a matter of it being on the market too long and it's not even available for move in until February. Any thoughts are guidance would be helpful thank you.
