In neighborhoods that won't attract high credit score tenants, I've found that a stable job history with a MINIMUM of 1 year at current or previous job to be the best indicator of a great tenant. 

However, I have found trails of information on the internet and FHA-type websites indicating if you relocate due to work, that you are not bound by the 1-year rule once you begin at your new place of employment.

Generally if a first is going to be paid off from the second position foreclosure, then the first must be notified in the complaint and the language will not be indicative of the foreclosure being subject to the first.

You CAN limit that agreement to a specific property; but, as others have stated, agents are looking for a certain amount of loyalty from their clients.If an agent gets vibes from a prospective client that indicates that they want to cheapskate and not pay a professional for their service, they are not likely to waste their time with them.

They can't afford the double deposit, indicating they live on the edge at the moment.
