In the event that our management agreement terminates with the tenant remaining in place, I will at that point provide the driver’s licenses/identification card, and a copy of the application the tenant filled out, pay stubs, tenancy verification and move in inspection report, but not the actual credit report.  

When I'm not chatting here I'm working overtime to arrange complimentary transportation to get you to court and should you have pending business there secure lodging near the courthouse with complimentary shuttle service on any court dates!

Do you process credit cards as part of your business or have accounts receivable outstanding?

You can build up goodwill sending grocery cards at Christmas, having a mini fridge to rush over the moment there is a problem, giving rent credits, etc. and it will mean LESS THAN ZERO as soon as you have a late fee you expect them to pay, a pet that you cannot approve, anytime the rent goes up, telling them they can't paint the walls and ceiling the color they want... then you are the scumbag landlord.

Think of it as a credit card tied to your house.

I have paid/settled everything and have few credit cards and my fico is in the low to mid 600s.I have pretty decent income ($400K+) and am interested in starting off small.

If you are pulling a HELOC or taking family money, leveraging credit cards, using personal savings it took you years to accumulate, whatever the source of money is - unless the source is endless - start small. 

You are over-thinking the process and will be sitting on vacancies as the market slows and tenants become harder to find.Get a YTD paystub, last year's W-2, recent bank statement, government picture ID and SSN card.

I suggested to Clint to stack some credit cards to have zero rate for 12 -18 months as his cushion for cash.

In core transportation areas it is surprising the densities allowed.
