As a landlord you will be more of a baby sitter keeping a close eye on tenants that generally have very low social standards.

Assuming you weren't working with some jokers like the mortgage division of a credit union, big bank, or internet lender, and assuming that the actual issue wasn't DTI with the new payment, that actually should have been perfectly fine.

HI Account Closed,DISCLAIMER: Not legal advice just the mindless ramblings of some dolt on the internet.

I met a wonderful potential tenant who filled out the application with good credit and passed the cozy background check.However, her monthly income she receives is from social security and her assets are a small IRA and low assets in her bank account (especially after paying 1st, last and deposit).I know that the suggested rental ratio is 3x gross income, where she is receiving about 2x income, but I am wondering if anyone else has faced this problem trying to qualify to a retired person on social security.Thoughts?

Long-distance moves, however, add a whole new dimension to the search.Although the internet is great for finding where to have dinner on a Friday night, it’s not the place to find a moving company.

You give the internet site 10-25% of the profits for a false sense of security.

I'll wait...Someone is salty that I called out their fake social media following in another post I see.

However, I've also found that if we make the process overly cumbersome or put too much required work on the lender, they'll just back away and become less interested because it seems to scary or unsafe or more work than they wanted from a passive investment...when in reality we could have the debate that it's safer than throwing money into the black box that is your mutual fund...but since that's socially acceptable people just do it. 

Since you're so pro socialism, why not send me some of your money?

Obviously there is value in face to face interaction as we are social beings.
