That means that no matter what happens I can’t share with the owner the tenant credit report (according to the terms of my contract with my credit reporting service).  

I also have a partner with a full time job and great credit score as well, so maybe my best option would be to include him and have him apply for the mortgage.

For my small size it seemed unnecessary and I didn't see the benefit in the small companies for a small time guy like myself.What I do is I can collect rent through Venmo (free), I have a tennant application embedded into my website (cognito forms...also free) I screen tennants through mysmartmove.com (Transunion's company gives you credit report, background, criminal, eviction etc. and tennant pays for the screening so also free.) 

Of course not.

Also, PriceLabs will do a fantastic job at pricing your place for you, surely much better than your property manager (unless of course they're using such a tool), if you also connect to their dynamic pricing tool.

This would of course be a brand new lease at FMV - what to do about this broker's expectation that our Landlord is to pay a commission. 

What documents do they require, what credit scores do they allow, how do they verify previous rental history, etc.?

I didn’t have the best credit so my interest rate was put at 7.125% on a home worth $275,903.00.

If any of those courses were truly worth it I would absolutely be all in to spend the money. 

The number usually varies from 10-20% depending on credit score, property analysis, etc.
