My name is Gavin Menichini and I'm a residential real estate investor in the San Antonio, TX area.

Now the rental reference the tenant gave on the application the lady's name was that of the man who owns the house wife who also gave yet another amount they pay for rent at their current residence. 

The property is currently owned in my husband's and my personal name. 

My name is Lisa and I'm new to the Bigger Pockets forums.
