It generally isn't worth the brain damage of experimenting though....especially if you want to move to a new home that you will own inside of the typical lender's seasoning period.

If the bank prices their debt based on the fed rate you typically see WSJ Prime + 1%.

Typically 75% of rental income can be applied towards your DTI for qualification. 

Typically the first set of tenants I screen are the ones who end up in the unit due to prescreening activities like my application and making sure I meet them.

We typically alter our strategy seasonally, as demand shifts with the seasons.

Do you list these features right on the listing or send to them after booking?
