What documents do they require, what credit scores do they allow, how do they verify previous rental history, etc.?

\My buyer is qualified, and I chose him for a number of factors and i have seen his proof of credit score and pre-approval etc....

I know 3 X times monthly income is needed to rent a place , between my pension and 457 b withdrawals , I will meet income requirements, credit scores are good for both, credit card is high but I am managing it with no problem, tenant record is excellent (never late on rent payment on my life), after this brief summary, these are my questions/concerns:-How landlord/rental property feel about this situation when there is no W-2 income to present?

@Patrick Johnson In my market, Montgomery, the vast majority of applicants for houses that rent for less than $800 a month will have sub 600 credit scores.

The idea of scoring big on a deal is a rush and creates fantasies in your mind.  

My lender will lend up to the lesser of A.75% of LTV  and B.100% of purchase price (this is during the delayed finance time period, so within the first six months). 

Note: All of this assumes you have a decent credit score and your credit will probably drop about 30-50 points, FYI.

we are going to buy a house in maryland  Rockville ,price between $530k to 600k, however, I have some questions: excellent credit score, one person work with stable pay with 120k gross income annually. another house rent out in PA .  

The thinking goes like this: if your prospective tenant has a record or is here illegally or has bad credit they are more likely from a protected class and you can't deny them.My niche is high credit score tenants.

I just read that they are creating a new way to calculate FICO scores for people who dont qualify for loans.
