Show me an 800 credit score, money in the bank and one person happened to just get laid off and is out looking for work that is a 2.5 times rent and chances are that could be a great tenant.Not that I don't share the requirements and discuss the situations before applications take place but done conversationally you can overcome some of the fear and possibly bring yourself a tenant that might work out great.Of course with some items we are dead in the water with an applicant but I've also learned that some flexibility can be good.
