The potential tenants are aware that I'm the PM and neighbor.Rent: $1,600Tenant 1: a few years about of school, excellent previous landlord references, two jobs, seemed clean cut and put together, Gross Income to half / full rent: 6.77x Half Rent / 3.3x Full RentVolunteered dad (well qualified cosigner) who agreed to be cosigner and passed all screens.Tenant 2: Similar life status and feel as Tenant 1, lives with parents (no rental history), toured apartment with his mom, Gross Income to half / full rent - 3.6x Half Rent / 1.83x Full Rent.Would you require a cosigner for tenant 2 or is tenant 1's dad enough when combined with both incomes?

Makes decent schools with good families less so etc.  

I am looking to get started similarly after graduation.

Good schools.

Congrats on your graduation. 

The 2.7% (2.687999% to be exact) actually includes property taxes for the city, school district, water district, Tarrant County College, Tarrant County hospital, and Tarrant County itself. 

I am going to school to become an appraiser, very beneficial, the more I know......
