I'm not sure if this is a good or bad idea, or if I should just stick with a regular tenant for my first rental, as I've got 3 other decent applicants. 

I posted from Saturday (today is Tuesday) and I have received one to two inquiries every day. 2 people have toured the property but no one submitted application yet. 

I think hard money lenders will not care, but traditional lenders will see that as highly risky and will reject your application.

I have an applicant- Mr. 

Seems weird that they'd want to schedule time to see the house, but won't fill out application.

I just received 2 applications from prospective tenants.

My experience has beenthat, the person on the other end of the email sends me a very informal application, also require a origination fee.

Seller costs = can include realtor fees for seller and buyer's agents, attorney fees, transfer taxes, owner's title insurance, prorated property taxes and HOA fees if applicableBuyer costs = origination/processing fees to lender, escrow fees, prepaid taxes & insurance, appraisal, lender's title insurance, home inspection, survey fee (if applicable) prorated taxes and inspection fees.

Or, 2) provide an application for the mother, require it to be submitted, complete, within a day or two.
