I recently did one where the lender did allow it but that was because of our position as a great customer of the bank and our impeccable credit record.  

They also have the Mortgage Tax Credit.

@Ethan Slater here's some info we hope you find useful:Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

@Rae Chris Ann Arbor is pretty expensive, so difficult to find cashflowing rentals.You may want to look in Ypsilanti - if you want to stay in your area.Otherwise, Metro Detroit offers a LOT of options.Read our copy & paste below for some helpful info:---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

Make sure when the new hardware is installed adjustments are made if needed and repair any damage to door jamb. 

, because they had added a provision to their lease that conflicted with State law - even as there was no damage to the tenant!

-Outlines what is considered damage to linens and other personal property (ie., stains, etc)-MTR we are flexible on the lease end date and will prorate last month's rent. 

What documents do they require, what credit scores do they allow, how do they verify previous rental history, etc.?

Quote from @Charles Fay: Hello all, first time posting and wanted to ask for your advice.currently in the military awaiting a 9-12 deployment within the next 6 months.I will have ~150k savings after deployment, 85k before, with no debt, payments or anything other than basic bills, 750+ credit.

Any additional mail costs $.50-$.76 depending on the size... so to prevent you from having hundreds of $.50 charges on your credit card, the default "reload" is $50 (you can set this to whatever you like in the app).Hope this helps....
