There’s are products that require weird qualifications.

I am a pretty new investor, with two buy and hold single family properties.I have a question about pets...we do allow pets, and we have a $500 pet deposit, $250 of which is non-refundable.I have a fantastic tenant (exceeds all qualification standards, communicates well, paid deposit and switched utilities within minutes of acceptance, etc) moving in soon, and he's asked me a question I'm just not sure how to answer.

When we moved to a new state for my husband's work, we also rented way below qualifications as we planned to research the area and buy something we could turn into investment property when we left, but we rented short-term in an apartment complex, didn't bother a single-family landlord. 

if that's the case, you may have some small level of qualification that you combine with a co-signer to get yourself into a house hack using a low down payment option. 

If it's a larger organization, feel free to inquire about their staff qualifications.2.

I also have a pre-qualification quote from So-Fi which seems like a decent deal actually but I know people get weary on the internet based lenders.

I have also used Facebook in the past but you get a lot of people that do not meet the qualifications( or at least my leasing qualifications). 

The 2008 husing crash was in part caused by easy mortgage qualifications pushing up housing prices and then ARM rate spikes making payments unaffodable.That shouldn't be an issue this time around, but...What about the relatively easy mortgage qualifications for investors? 

You eliminated everyone that might apply during those 3 months for a longer term at a higher rate with better qualifications, for a short lease that expires in January?

I cant get a va loan because my income is not considered permanent. ie I am living 100 percent on the stipend form the gi bill about 1600 tax free a month. my sweetheart is done with college but lives with family for cultural reasons most people would not understand. she saves all of her money and I save a little more then half that 1600. every month. together we save around 3500+ a monthwe would be using the student loans because I would not qualify without "permanent income" of my own. now I know that the rent checks can be included in qualification I am unsure how much it would add here don't think they would be happy with just that being used to be qualified.
