I could barely proof it because it was so long haha

Good Morning,I am a former Claims Specialist with the Social Security Administration and currently unemployed homeowner who is looking for guidance on how to gain property management experience here in the Central Coast of California.My wife is the only one working at the moment, so times are tough to say the least.We're looking to rent out a portion of our home in order to save up enough money to purchase our second home (or multi-family unit), rent that out, and begin to expand our portfolio. 

The credit score and income will help you determine if they can pay and will likely pay on timeThe landlord references, eviction history, and criminal history can help you determine how they will treat you and the property.none of it is full proof, but the more info you have the better.

No social or credit pull needed upfront. 

As the above paragraph says they assume you may have UNINTENTIONALLY discriminated, so the burden of proof is largely on your shoulders. 

The main hassle of conventional lending is being able to provide proof of income and seasoning.

Maybe it ends up being more of a social thing.
