I went to ask for the apartment back and learned she had started moving her things out in mid June.

This would be Houston,TxThanksAs HMLs we would look for you personally to preferably have a Mid FICO of 600+, pass a background check to make sure you are not on the run from police or selling crack on the weekends, be a US citizen or resident and the more experienced you are in flipping/rehabbing the better the loan terms might be.The rest is dependent on the property in question.

the only thing better is at least they are not contemplating buying D class rentals in the mid west  LOL

I only give them a short time (about 5 days) to meet for the lease signing before they lose their exclusive rights to the unit, so this prevents someone from dragging their feet after they've signed the contract to hold.Once the lease is signed, I take down the ads and send out emails to people in mid-marketing flow letting them know that the apartment has been rented but I will reach out if something falls through.It's a marketing funnel, essentially. 

Looking for recommendations for a CPA in Mid-Coast Maine.

Learn from my mistakes young ones - After 12 years and a string of great tenant selections, I thought I was a godly judge of tenant character and would occasionally get lazy and sloppy. 12 months ago, I rented a SFH to a well spoken, clean cut mid 30s couple. 

If you came to me with a bad credit score (meaning < 600 Mid FICO) I would almost certainly only be able to lend you a considerably smaller percentage of LTV on a bridge loan for that amazing property you have under contract than if you had more credit.

One is the breadwinner but has terrible credit due to poor entrepreneurship decisions when younger, the other is a stay at home parent with no income but good credit (mid-600s).How would you evaluate this?

new can be as low as mid to high 300s  you get on the west side of the MSA Hillsboro Intel Nike and starting prices are 100k or more higher.. 

Mid-level units ($100k-$175k) are really tough to show any cash flow on, but renters are out there in this price range I think.  3 - How are some folks finding deals?
