SIGNED STATEMENT OF INSURED AS REQUIRED BY SECTION 3905.33 OF THE OHIOREVISED CODEThe named insured ___________, acknowledges that the insurance policy (other than life insurance) as described above is to be placed with an insurance company not authorized to do business in Ohio.The insured understands that the insurance company is not a member of the Ohio Insurance Guaranty Association and that Chapter 3955. of the Ohio Revised Code is not applicable to claimants or insureds of said insurance company.

Many of our investors/wholesalers team up to skip trace, door knock, drive for dollars that can be capture in the application. 

And IMHO, the prices are dropping big time (on avg. 10K/month...houses that were above 300K a year ago are not selling at 250K now) and the available rentals saturation is worse than I seen during summer season (with rents dropping from 1$-1.08/sqft to 0.8$/sqft and very little contacts and applications...just go in Zillow and look how many rentals are on the market now in Kyle, New Braunfels or Converse). 

Instead, focus on verified income and ensure applicants don’t owe previous landlords or have prior evictions.

Banks rejected 1 in every 5 mortgage applicants last year.

Down payment amount varies and more you put down the highre you will be in the queue of applicants, also down payment varies per your credit...Dodd Frank IS in play!!

If you are not familiar with lease applications/procedure/ and contracts, use a realtor to make sure you don't leave anything  out that can come back and burn you.

All things being equal, I would accept these applicants, but I would require them to pay a deposit equal to two months of rent.

My application includes an acknowledgment that everything is true and complete.

I always play it straight on loan applications for they can be enforced for 10 years from signing.
