I have my first propsective tenant who has put down a deposit to hold along with his application.

I just started my Junior year in college and want to focus the application of my studies towards Real Estate.

Most likely this would be a parent - check them out just as you would any other applicant.

If you asked for 1 month deposit and last months rent, here you would have no applicants that could do that.

Now it's barely a blip on the radar when a few units get deployed.Atleast 50% of applicants the last time i had a vacant rental (July) were from Nashville looking to escape the rising rents, which is keeping rental rates healthy hereYou can find rentals at/above the 1% rent rule all day longCreative financing is alive and well here as it's more of a buyer's marketGood luck to ya!

I have been told that Freddie Mac loans can be approved with just 1 year of tax returns for self-employed applicants.

But for the application I use carpet for, it works.

On my application it asks if this is for a primary residence, a secondary residence, or investment.

Always assume the worst case scenario when screening applicants.

I knew the closer I got to Thanksgiving/Christmas the smaller my qualified applicant pool would be.
