We require a pet application, just like an application for a human to live there.

Hi Account Closed,In my humble personal opinion, a "cash buyer" is anyone who does not need human approval to close on the purchase within a very short time-frame. 

Social aspects of RE are not limited to low income tenants, far from it.Look too, for the National Association of Housing Officials and Redevelopment (NAHRO).Here are some organizations or other folks that deal in RE within their realm.Office of AgingAssisted LivingAdvocate Organizations for the blind, handicap, children, etc.City P&Z OfficesDept. of Defense, especially the Corps Of EngineersDept. of EducationDept. of Health and Human ServicesEconomic Development identifies blighted areas and funds redevelopment.HUD/USDA have social and economic skills educationHOA organizationsLook to your local United Way, they are often the gatekeepers for funding going to community service organizations and they will know non-profit housing entities that serve an area.Developers base growth from social impact studies, demographics are the social and economic movement of populations.  

The new era of international trade; The new era of a super-productive online world; The new era of RE where prices cannot go down; The human mind is a funny thing!

Best practices as defined by the ASPCA, AKC, and the Humane Society are written into our agreement.

Why do you think the SPCA gets more support from Pet lovers than real estate investors give human beings that really support the advantaged life style of the Investor, an often Rich Slum Lord?

If a human being actually reads your credit report, they'll see that it is an authorized user.  

I think if you are empathetic and overall just a compassionate human, this can be a great channel.

If you are showing them around it never hurts to be nice and offer refreshments and crack a few appraisal jokes, we're all human.

And, ya, as a landlord this means you go-to lender might be willing to help you avoid the $25 credit pull fee you charge potential tenants if you wish (it'll be an auth form they sign instead of a $25 check they write).Something that's also a nice bonus with this: If you meet a lender that "can't" give you a quote or any information based on reading a credit report without actually pulling it, that means you've found a dummy that doesn't know how to function without his software, and thus can eliminate him from your pool of potential lenders right off the bat because she or he ALSO isn't going to be able to handle your "I own 5 investment properties, 3 are in an LLC" scenario (mortgage software mostly kind of sucks at these deals, and frequently needs to have the human override bat swung at it... which means you need to be able to do it with a pen/paper/calculator or you shouldn't be doing it at all).
