$300k cash, but no credit and job history
I moved abroad 14 years ago and I'll be returning this summer with my wife, 3 kids, and $300k. I don't have a job lined up and I have no credit or US employment history. During my time abroad, I filed 1040s but my reported income was low because our businesses were in my foreign wife's name. Since I have no W-2s and no credit, how difficult will it be for me to rent a home? What can I do now to improve my chances of qualifying?
