Also something I am wondering is would I need to provide proof of employment in the state I’m trying to move into?

The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it!

I will add that this is a process that has many rules that are required to be followed and there are serious financial penalties if you make a mistake. do your research and learn all you can and/or find a custodian who provides education as well as an ERISA attorney who can advise you. 

You can list your property at the local Housing Authority and I think some have an online database of rentals, but we've never used that. 

They have to provide these docs to you as a future homeowner.

Landlords must provide 30-days notice if the rent increase is less than 10%. 

They provide the bulk of my income. 

If possible I use that same section to refute the requirement...or provide an alternate path to approval. 

To answer your original question about making it more palatable for owners....you need to pay them for the service of providing you with debt. 

For as long as I can snag deals like this - https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/52/topics/1193019-says-...And I know that you guys have similar numbers in Detroit, I couldn't care less about the "keyboard cowboy" data.Virtual $ex with Jenna (Old Playstation game and sorry ladies) is different to real life.Same as the online stats, demographics and data...They don't/can't show the real life micro economic data of tertiary cities.Well, they can but they aren't accurate just like Zillow isn't in my market.Micro is very different to MacroJust my 2 Aussie centsPeace, I'm out 🤠
