I’d be interested to know some of your thoughts on investing in areas where the population has been stagnant or shrinking, as is the case for some areas of eastern Ontario and the maritimes.

You don't want to ruin any credit history built, by being late on a payment to a card that's mostly out of sight out of mind.

Too lengthy to list here, but the categories are: General Requirements, Residence/Rental History, Income/Employment History, Financial/Credit History, and Legal/Criminal History.In Washington State we're required to show applicants our rental criteria before we can accept an application fee.

All they care about is your financial history of the LLC.

I have a solid work history over the last 3 years as a contract attorney, and though I often work upwards of 60 hours per week, I am technically considered a "freelancer".

Never missed a payment in my life, and have extensive history to back it up.Have a stable job, make nearly $85k a year.So what are my options here?

Just for this example, lets say you're interested in all of Milwaukee County and eastern Waukesha County, which is still a good sized area but fairly reasonable.

@Omi c Thanks for that exampleAs I'm new and just out of grad school I don't have a credit history worthy of traditional financing but I was thinking of marketing for some seller finance options within the Bakersfield after I move to LA in August.

That application also has a form they sign authorizing me to ask for their credit history to be pulled thru SmartMove/Transunion. 

If they come through anything else then I will have them complete our standard application process and ensure that they don't have a history of hoodwinking or anything like that.
