I had a tenant once say he's a professional poker player, plays poker on the internet and gets paid from an offshore account, but he said he doesn't include much of that income when he files his taxes, he wanted me to trust him he could make the rent...I now request the annual 1099 (equivalent to W-2), certified copy of IRS-1040, and letter from accountant (preferably CPA) which should state nature of business and income holdings, annual income expected for current year, amount of annual personal income applicant takes from business, and bank references, credit report, etc.

Is it required to be first class mail, certified mail ?
