You probably have an uniformed loan guy.

It's important to apply this criteria uniformly to every prospective tenant in order to avoid any issues pertaining to fair housing laws.

My rentals are in a Uniform Residential Landlord Tenant Agreement (URLTA) zone which has uniform guidelines, so worth looking into.

If the cost is truly going to be thousands then my first instinct is to uniform the tenants it is no longer for heating use, solely decorative.

In a real estate transaction there is a uniform profit/commission for a real estate agent across the board that is recognized by the industry as a whole, this doesn't exist for contractors.

Property managers do that too, though we don't have the cool uniforms and we don't usually run into burning buildings, (like I said, its not a perfect analogy).Your decision to engage ongoing management is very dependent on the property and the tenants.  

So its not a real uniform heat.

I also downloaded a Fannie Mae Form Uniform Residential Loan Application, and it looks pro, but I haven't read through all the fine print yet to see if permission to pull credit, etc, is included.I found a tenant screening service here on BP, RentPrep, and I would think that it would be the same information I need, but not sure if it will work legally to use as a loan application screening instead of a rental screening.
