Well, the prospect emailed her last two months of bank statements, and it immediately answered one question - why would she want to drop a house that she owned, and go back to renting?? Well... how about a mortgage payment that is almost twice what my rent is??
I also looked at their house on Google maps, and it's floorplan is probably larger than mine, disregarding the second floor that they have. It's a typical modern home, massive mega-mansion, with almost no yard. I thought my place was huge, but they could hide my house in their garage. This is sounding more credible now... If their credit reports check out and don't have any flags, I may meet with them and go over the Lease Agreement.
The only thing that I'm a little uncertain about, is the payroll receipts that she sent me... they look like they were typed on a typewriter or something, though every document is identical to the others in format. It looks like whatever software they use to pay themselves from the business (since she is "president" and he is "manager") is clearly *really* cheap and primitive. OTOH, I've confirmed that they *are* the primary operators and owners of the business, from several online sources, including Oakland BBB. That is a good point, I think.
