Fair housing doesn't say anything about credit score.

Is that fair? 

If you already have a solid team in place with your first property adding a second should be fairly easy.

He is 44, lives alone, has a landscaping business that is doing fairly well.  

But I'm still fairly new to MTR/STR so I'm learning as I go.

If so, why not partner with someone else that can help you fund the deal, either 100% or have your money partner fund 20% and a commercial bank fund 80% then flip it and split the profits w/ your money partner at whatever split you all think is most fair? 

A straightforward response like, 'Thanks for your interest, but we’ll need confirmation that the buyer can cover the full (or close to full) listing amount,' seems fair.

I'll then list my properties on the high end of whatever I think fair market rent is.

Per fair housing regulations, I can't answer this question. 

Is it fair?
