Does anyone know if you can use the potential rental income on a application for financing, as a way to lower your DTI.

You need  to find someone that can read people and watch you meet a homeowner from a distance.

@Drew AdamOnce you close, I would meet/talk to the tenants and let them know that you will need a new application (I would not charge them) and vet them like any new tenant.  

Half of the estate agents pulls off the moment you mention DSS, and the other half has super detailed applications where they demand a minimum income that she can't reach.

As a Home Inspector, we don't really care if someone is there or not, we just watch our language a little more closely!  

I will watch the podcast and look for Bigger Pockets books on this topic.

However as everyone knows each applicant is going to be different.  

I am developing a tenant application and am a little uneasy asking for personal information.  

More REO's meet the "too damaged to be financed by the retail buyer", but they are constantly watched by rehabbers.  

Robert, couple things, she has not checked any boxes that says she will supply Lead paint pamphlets to tenants, your house is too new for lead paint, but should be an automatic thing. you are also going to be charged for credit checks of prospective tenants, this should be charged to people as an application fee. i still say look for another PM,
