My husband and I are new to the landlord/renting scene and want to make sure are answering inquiries accurately and also want to make sure the Fair Housing police are not trying to catch us off guard, with random questions.Here's the story...The lead came from trulia, even though it is not posted there yet and here is the message we received and not sure how to respond..."

I even handled IRS notifications for clients when W9 or W2 info is wrong, resulting in IRS inquiries, but that's another long story.As to 1099's for investors, I myself have researched the subject on the internet, had my CPA look into it as well through the years, and I trust my CPA.

that threw up a flag)She has made all the normal inquiries and wants to know if she can pay the first year upfront as apparently the Banks in Canada charge her every time she makes a transaction?

Every transaction will require at least 2 years of tax returns, at least 2 months of bank statements, employment verification, explanations of large deposits and credit inquiries.... 

Gotta say I find the website a little annoying, why can't they simply list their distributors like any other business, most likely they want to capture inquiry data.

Once I know exactly who I am going to pursue, I will do them all at once so that the "hard" credit inquiries they all run show up w/in 14 days of each other to minimize the credit hit I will take.Any advice on lending, both local and general, would be much appreciated!

However, most of our inquiries come from the internet, not from the "for rent" sign in the yard.

The units are in a lower income area and I have had a couple of inquiries from the locals as to when the units will be available.

I don't understand the 50% rule just yet. So here is a question to see if I am handling this correctly.

I bought a 4-plex in November and inherited a lease... So unfortunately, I am stuck with this issue for now.
