I'm curious as what y'all consider to be the minimum criteria for approving a tenant, assuming you don't have access to professional tools.

To improve your approval chances, use rental income from your first property, consider co-signers, and explore lenders that use Income-Based Repayment (IBR) for student loans.

Financing your second property can be tricky since lenders may only count 75% of rental income toward your debt-to-income ratio, so get pre-approved early.
