Not a solution, but going forward...Have all adult tenant prospects fill out applications which require their social security number, driver's license number, their birth date, their current address and their prior address.

Usually teens/adults just enjoying!

Tenant Sophie (fake name) is female 40.

It's a great way to teach young adults about money and finance.I would love any feedback on what you think are the main forces holding people back from becoming financially free.

I'm particularly passionate about midterm rentals.Outside of real estate, I enjoy working with special needs adults and education about memory loss prevention.Excited to learn and connect with you all!

But if you are committed to purchase, a 2/2 would prevail over a 2/1, the price difference has to be nominal and now you might attract a different user like tow couples or adult friends that don't want to share a bathroom vs a young family that the kids are okay to use the same bathroom as the parents. 

A married couple in their 70s that have previously owned homes for 40+ years and are now retired with no debt, no kids, and 50 years experiene as adults should not be looked at the same as a boyfriend/girlfriend in their early 20s that have never owned a home or rented together before, still paying student loans, living paycheck to paycheck, and financing that 2018 Dodge Charger in the driveway.

I have been an agent my entire adult life (let's just say its been a long time) and I can tell you its worth the 3% to have the agent.
