I don't charge and I feel that the more info I give them the more it will influence responses, so this is what I use on page 1 of the application:Our Criteria:We do not deny housing for race, color, religion, sex, national origin, handicap, sexual orientation, marital status, or familial status.We do deny housing to individuals: when the application is not complete or accurate where there is no sufficient income/resources to pay rent and livewhere there is poor prior tenancy: evictions, violations, damage to rental property, poorly handled move outs, amounts are still owing to landlords or utilities.Criminal activity is at our discretion depending on severity, number of convictions, and how long ago.Our Philosophy:We strive to provide affordable, clean, and safe housing, be fair with repairs, and improve the Highlands neighborhood.

I’m trying to teach my kids the benefits of deferring gratification to invest in real assets that generate continuous cash flow (like Rich Dad/Poor Dad taught me), and thought I’d share this story in case anyone else wants to pass it on.Ken

It takes a great deal of discipline and belief in what you're doing to forgo instant gratification when you have the money to treat yourself, and stick to the plan--living below your means and using that leverage responsibly on real estate.

It was very gratifing to have someone like Miguel on my team.

@Ned CareyI crossed my references, sorry - - it's a Fair Housing Regulation:Fair Housing Laws prohibitdiscrimination based on: - Race or Color- National Origin or Ancestry- Religion- Sex- Sexual Orientation- Marital Status- Age / Familial Status (havingchildren or being pregnant)- Mental or Physical Disability- Source of IncomeWhat actions are prohibited?

After I run the background check I am 3-for-3 in positive hits for the sexual predator list with crimes against minors.  

My world is crumbling around me.Next you're going to tell me that the most famous athlete in the world in his time, the iconic symbol of all around male athleticism from my youth is now in his 60s and has become confused about his sexuality.

Pretty soon people will be saying that we have to get in now and we will never be able to afford a house again.When people start talking about something for nothing, instantaneous gratification Guru garbage, the end is not too far away.  

I think society as a whole is lazy, everything is instant now, hard work is not looked at in a way it used to be and everyone wants immediate gratification. 

Get rid of any car payments, don't be afraid to drive a hoopty around for a while.I'm not indicating this of you but I see a lot of young people look for immediate gratification, new cars, motorcycles, spending $ at bars/clubs.
