Probably wasn't worth mentioning this solution with two examples out of hundreds of thousands.....Otherwise as Dion pointed out, you'll need to be insured. :)

Having said that, I think it's important to remember that each landlord has their own standards and criteria (although most are universal) and the product is a "one size fits all" solution.

I would say that 4/2.1 would be ideal.6.Modern features such as a functional 2-person master bath, social kitchen, attached 2+ car garage, central heat and/or AC, non-gold features, etc.7.Clean, decent, functional yard (low cost of upkeep, so no pool and probably no water feature)8.B neighborhood or better, and on a decent or better street.9.Attractive curb appeal.

Mostly so when you tell the next person (the one who might buy the place) you have something solid to back up your claims.As All Cash points out the issue can vary a lot and the solution will vary a lot.

I believe the suggestion of credit cards is just his solution given my situation.
