Financials: Household income $120K both of us have 800 credit scores.

Hello, I wanted to hear your opinion on my preliminary qualifications below, even before I give them the Renter's Application to fill out:=======To qualify I have a min requirement of Household monthly income to be at least 3 times of rent.

Gather together all the documentation you can regarding all sources of income for your household and present it in a clear manner to your potential landlord.

I would at least have a checking and savings acct for rentals separate from your main household accts. 

I make a pretty solid paycheck, but having a child and a wife who now stays home to be a mom, made me seriously re-evaluate where every dollar goes in our household.  

I suppose that you and your wife are both still working full time, so moving into a Duplex is ideal for you because the other unit would get you close to (if not entirely) cover your mortgage and house hold expenses like utilities, etc. and help you and your wife free up a lot of your salary, right?

Almost never was the person who passed an income earning member of their household.  

While working with our out of state clients we place our primary focus on average household income along with surrounding industry in order to find a sustainable and safe investment .

Monthly pre-tax income for household 5.)

I don't invest in the market I live in for a multitude of reasons, including lack of job growth, stagnant population growth, very low median household income, and too much stock in terms of rental properties, driving rents lower.
