I have a prospective tenant that filled out an application.However I need some advice on qualifying this individual.The current rent is 3600The applicant is a family The Spouse doesnt work The main applicant gross W2 income is around $10000 monthThe monthly net income is $5700No car loan's No credit cards balancesThey pay $800 month on a personal loan.Since a rent check is written after net income is received.

Before consulting with property managers, I advise checking in with the HOA managing member to discuss this matter.

Dedicate one checking account and credit card exclusively to real estate.

It's already obvious but check anyway.This is required to have a permit, so just get one and stop worrying about it.

You need to check with your State, in Florida you will have to pay sales tax on any rental agreements of 6 months or less so check for any possible sales tax liability.

Pretend to be a renter and check the rents there.
