I'd say 30 days.....but of course depends on what rent you want, what time of year, where the property is, what price range and so many factors.Typically I say Summer rents better than Winter, especially in great school districts.If you're above probably $3000/month in rent might take 60-90 days and maybe longer depending on how far up the price scale you go....Probably $1500/month and less in metroplex, might be a week or two.Homes that allow pets seem to rent faster than those that don't....so could depend on where you are there.Seems like the last few I've rented went pretty fast if the condition was good and the rent was right....people wanting to apply and move in a few days.Some post said try Z....and I would say just the opposite....typically I get the worst applications from there, but maybe it depends on how picky you want to be.So typically your first payment is about 1month after you close.

—as security for a loan, the borrower has a contingent liability.The lender is not required to include this contingent liability as part of the borrower's recurring monthly debt obligations provided the lender obtains a copy of the applicable loan instrumentthat shows the borrower's financial asset as collateral for the loan.

Also, about the fingerprint cards, do you actually have applicants that do this?

Also the application asks for loan account numbers.The rental application you guys use asks for all this information?

Main thing is how much you trust your family to be ok with this and how well you communicate. 7.5% is well above the AFR minimum rates, so you wouldn't have an issue, but definitly make sure to understand the Applicable Federal Rates (http://apps.irs.gov/app/picklist/list/federalRates.html).
