I’m in my mid thirties and employed as a chemical tank truck driver.

Employed full time and had just picked up a couple rental homes.

Long track record of employment.

I currently work as a Project Controller managing budgets for the company I am employed by but excited to use my savings to pursue real estate in whatever capacity I can.

If you have w2 employment, keep it.

Employed with the same company for 7 years, makes 4.7 times the rent, has a credit score of 580, and a bankruptcy that is over 3 years old, shows 0 late payments since bankruptcy.

My SOP is to contact the current landlord and employer, require proof of income for the past 3 months, and use Rent Spree for background, credit, eviction, etc.

. - Permit ConsultantsIn areas where vacation rental dwelling permits or licenses are required (DO YOUR RESEARCH) it can be useful to employ a consultant to process your application or permit.

I have other investments and savings that I don't want to touch.I planned on staying employed at my current job and my husband would keep his current business until we feel we have a handle on the new business and start working towards growth.

Regarding credit scores, it depends on the Class of the rental.Class A properties we typically want 680+, Class B 620+, Class C 560+.We'll also give applicants a 20 point exception if they have stable 2+ year employment and/or verifiable 2-year rental history.
