So while I do a digital application/signature, it is hard to know whether any form I received was legitimate.

What I’m saying basically is if it’s a legitimate program that will help walk you through purchasing & marketing properties and save time and steps (both of which are money), it might well be worth it… But the big “IF“ is... do they?

Google "eFiling W2" and choose a reputable one.Besides simply being your legal requirement, this W2 legitimizes the payroll deduction for your business and allows your child to contribute to a Roth IRA.

There have been issues with concerns of legitimate service animal certificates. 

I know I have to provide a reason for rejection and will "having lower score than the other tenant" be a legitimate reason even if his/her credit score still meets my minimum criteria?

Any legitimate expense for a property will be accounted for on your taxes.

I would return any pet deposit that the expense could not legitimately be thought to be a result of pet damage. 

I would also point out there is a legitimate reason for holding unrelated people to a higher standard because they present a significantly higher risk.There's no such thing as "their share" of the rent.

The downtown was a neglected venue of closed-up shops, dilapidated brick buildings, and homeless/vagrants. 

There are plenty of legitimate rules regarding FHA criteria that have to be observed; we certainly don't need to be adding made-up ones to the list.As for screening criteria, past evictions is nowhere near my only screening criteria.
