Along with a credit report, I have read that other documents for a rental application should be included.

But if you can OMI one unit and raise rent to $1,700 per unit after one year (just cause isn't applicable to triplex's), you just bumped the equity (in theory) 300k.

I would concentrate on finding applicants that you know will pass the board.

My immigration application to become a permanent resident is being processed at the moment so will have SSN in about 3 months or so.

In a simultaneous transaction, I am entering a security agreement with the owner for a share of any profits from sale and (if applicable) rental, which is substantially more than if I charged interest on the note.

I would think her book would be applicable nation wide but it is limited to her state, so further investigation and due diligence is still warranted. 

Courses #5 – 8 may be included in your postsecondary educationExperience Requirements – 20 transactions The Division calculates the transactions to ensure the applicant meets a total of twenty by using the following formulas: • Listing agent in the sale of property owned by another = ½ transaction • Selling agent in the sale of property owned by another = ½ transaction • Listing agent in the lease of commercial or industrial real estate owned by another for a term of at least one year = ½ transaction • Procuring agent in the lease of commercial or industrial real estate owned by another for a term of at least one year = ½ transaction • Listing and /or procuring agent in the lease of four residential real estate properties owned by another for a term of at least one-year = 1 transactionThere are also requirements about not having a criminal record.http://www.com.ohio.gov/documents/real_Requirement...You can probably get into investing sooner than you can accomplish all of that.  

Unfortunate situation but it sounds like you already know what kind of adjustments you need to do in your lease and screening applicants for the future. 

I'm not getting nearly the number of applicants I did just 6 months ago, and those I do get have more choices.  

I remember them asking me how long I had been working in my current profession and even though I had switched employers shortly before the mortgage application, it wasn't a big deal because  I had been working in the same profession for years.
