I'd like to keep the female tenant, and I think she might stay in the house longer term.  

Here are the stats:Age - Male, 36 | Female, 39Kids - 2.5 kidsCars - 2.28 cars per householdHousehold Income - $53,657 (Male $53,684 | Female $36,151 with Married Couples Averaging $81,025)Average Home Price - $188,900Mortgage Debt - $110,000 per householdRetirement Account Balances - ~$63,000 in this age bracketVehicle Debt - $26,530Student Debt - $30,100Credit Card Debt - $5,747Note: These figures (with the exception of credit card debt) are for individuals who HAVE these types of loans, it excludes people with no debt, however, I would assume that the Average American owes money on a car or student loans.  

Many of them, mostly male, sometimes female and children too.

@John LaVecchia@Jeremy S.If you want a Section 8 tenant to stay for long time (2+ years), select tenant with following, female, 60+, single preferred.The above stays long time, as long as you don't give them reason to leave. like not doing your part to fix things.Terry

A lot of guys over look it but usually females make the final decision! 

One Applicant is a Research Scientist (between projects)The other (Mother of female) gets a monthly Disability Check and the Male is on VA Disability.

Also, I am a female

Slowly learning... also I think being a female has its own unique set of challenges (mostly from being stereotyped).

Well you will have to modify  your bathroom and furnishings permanently for my client for his 2-month stay, then, per FHA)'3,  I'm an agent  with a mother and her special needs high school daughter (so if you refuse to share your home, bath, and kitchen with females you're violating ADA)4.

Hello All I have a similar question I have a one bedroom I am renting out and the female told me last minute she cannot move in so I am trying to decide to rent to this other female meets the requirements but has 3 kids.
