I guess I jut have to target different type of properties which I can do also.Somehow, I don't have many applicants older than 30-35 y.o. but I think it's because of location - I prefer more secluded, not drive by and they are not close to grocery stores, etcThat's a great target for stable Rent....thanks again!

My tenants are nurses, social workers, very stable jobs, driving high end cars but not too often they want to buy.

In our area, it is difficult to find well qualified market tenant that can pay 1500+ rent reliably and be stable for a few years.

The only LOC you're going to get is one attached to a stable asset (such are your primary residence), or a Business LOC if you have an established, profitable business that needs operating $Good luck!

They are very clean.I advertised “pets negotiable” because i believe:1) Pets are a very common member of stable families and vetting the pet is as possible as vetting the tenants2) As Michael Swan said in episode #238, kids can do more damage than pets and you can charge per pet(try charging per kid!)

This intent of my investing is to develop a reasonable and stable cash flow scenario.

I'm guessing they'll say they want you to have stable employment for 2 years, but maybe they can offer a way around it.

They are more suited for the stable, not the house.

You can access FHA's handbook here.My own two cents -- the appraiser is still going to give more weight to the closed sales but the active and pending listings at least show where the price trends are headed (up, down, or stable).

Bottom End housing (2 bed condos) are bumping up above 400K, and don't seem to fly off the shelf....but are still moving.Observation 4.
