Having a moral dilemma
Greetings, I just put up one of my units on the market for rent. Many people are highly interested.  I have a few families that are practically begging (for lack of better terms) to be the one selected. Their application just isn’t strong enough. I don’t feel confident in their income. But I also understand that they need a place to stay. I want to rent this out to a family but I also want to make sure the family is able to afford the apartment. Do I take a chance with someone whose income isn’t that high or is this not the time to have a heart and just keep the business mindset?
