My employer never had such a requirement.  

However, your rental income depends on your tenants remaining employed at similar wages.

You could also ask the employer if they can spread out the bonus over multiple years. 

My sample size is small but I have not needed to show the apartment to book it yet.

I usually can pickup Spa Sensations/Zinus 12 in Ultima King size for around $275 every few months when Walmart logrithms mark them down. 

All are within 30 minutes of major employers.  2) Like most metro areas in the surrounding states and regions, we've had an inventory shortage for more than 5 years.

What I do for my units with shared meters is I charge 50% flat to each tenant which prevents waste I get no issues with any waste due to this but the ones that share electric bills do get many complaints due to the size of the bill.

Has to be individuals  who own a large enough portfolio where they are not getting lucky relying on a small sample size.

The guaranteed rent is great, but don’t let that lull you into taking any tenant with a voucher—look at their rental history, employment, credit, etc.

When your self employed like we are I dont think a lot of folks realize how vulnerable our lives can be in a financial melt down like the GFC.
