Shoot me a DM if you'd like to chat more, I'm a real estate agent and student studying here at Cal Poly!

Its a little less convenient but they DO charge an additional monthly fee for the gate control service and I just don't see enough value in it to change everything over.

So, we obtain a full credit report and review collections, chargeoffs, age of credit accounts, active accounts, etc. to build an overall credit evaluation.FICO ScorePct of PopulationDefault Probability800 or more13.00%1.00%750-79927.00%1.00%700-74918.00%4.40%650-69915.00%8.90%600-64912.00%15.80%550-5998.00%22.50%500-5495.00%28.40%Less than 4992.00%41.00%Source: Fair Isaac CompanyPublic RecordsWe also obtain data from national databases about evictions, convictions and sex-offender histories.

Given that we deduct a lot on our taxes due our rentals we look cash flow poor when we are actually able to cover the debt service on a nicer home that is well more than $2500 that the lender currently says we can afford.
