In addition to what other people responded with, you should have some photos/videos of the property. 

Nationwide, the actual amount of housing units needed is said to be so large it will take years for builders to catch up with new home builds.

They will need to provide a photo, vet records and answer 5 or 6 questions, have renters insurance (working on the pet insurance side of the equation) and based on then above determines what they will pay for a pet fee.

I require applicants to bring a government issued photo ID and one recent paycheck stub.  

@Ibn Abney maybe everyone should read this:https://medium.com/swlh/nyc-tech-catching-up-to-silicon-valley-while-seattle-flails-here-s-why-97ba7147b5f6I've been going to the larger NYC events for years.  

The Way Heather is looking at this is if you are trying to SCORE with a bank giving you a good deal, then you need to catch the home in Pre-Foreclosure and do a short sale on it.

You will never catch everything but you can get close. 50% of the time you will get a call after move-in with something you missed becasue you dont live there and cant find every little thing.

We also post the notice is a sealed envelope with the tenant's name/confidential on their door and take a photo of it as proof. 

"Let the buyer beware" is more than a catch phrase; it's the real deal in investing.

Obviously a lender with good rates is going to catch your attention, but it really is more than that.
