They are trying to focus more on small businesses (examples: cupcake business, brewery, barbershop, furniture building, etc).

Add furniture and appliances and it takes 12 months or less to get everything in the house and the house paid for. 

I’m mostly away from home and that leaves my wife and my three children all by themselves. 

The property has been unused for 2 years, still has furniture and will require some updating/cosmetic work to be rent ready but it seems like a great option to avoid the lender process on my side. 

Many would be receiving some financial assistance from their children as well.

I'm married with three children with two of those in college. 

Usually they test you like children, even the good ones.

-- cats don't make noise, go to the bathroom in the litter box,  and other than destroying the tenants furniture, not much else, as long as the tenant keeps the box cleaned. 

You might consider teaming up with a mortgage broker to share the cost.The list criteria should include Renters, age 30-50, Income $70,000 plus, high Financial Stability Score and with that many bedrooms I'd add in families with children.

Obviously spent more than $10k  if you include furniture and new appliances but thats all stuff we will take with us to our next house.
