I would also ask what kind of investment they have done in the past or are currently doing.  

I am looking for the knowledge of a past or present realtor to answer these questions for me:Once you pass the test to become a licensed realtor can you have access right away to the premium part of the MLS?

College pastor is actually also a Realator!

I get contacted several times each day, but all the callers are either section 8, don't even meet 2.5x income, had evictions in the past, or filed bankruptcy (some as soon as last week), and none are really qualified.  

We have a relationship with several pastors & members at a few nearby churches.

Can I offer rent credits like I did in the past, or is this against the law now?

We currently rent the guest house to my husband's best friend, a youth pastor, for the best friend rate of $550/mth.  

These are good, honest people... he's the assistant pastor at his church, high school football coach, mentor to inner city kids.

I'm just curios has anyone ever made an offer like this  in the past, or  currently using this strategy?  

Know this: that person is worth their weight in gold, and can be the primary person that you run things past or ask questions as you move through your day.
