PITI is $3053, which sucks because we were renting at $2100, but of course, we didn't own anything and had to ask permission to get my daughter a puppy, LL said no pets by the way. 

It also has a great design with a entrance vestibule and door to a walk in basement common area, that could be used for both tennant to store their summer stuff....2 driveways with parking for boats or multiple cars, a detached garage for the maintence guy (me) lawn mowers etc...and a back patio common area to be shared and huge fenced in yard for pets or whatever....all steps from the water.  

Do you own any pets/animals?

Then the rent increase moratorium came, rent control was instituted, mandatory lease renewals, security deposit reductions, inability to evict for things like unauthorized pets and people not on the lease living in the unit, all happening at a time when my taxes are going up, my permit fees are going up, my insurance is going up (or being non-renewed), and everything else is going up, and I'll likely be increasing rent around once a year. 

One is a baby sitter who is willing to provide bank statements as proof of income, the other is a pet sitter and will provide payment stubs from her clients as income verification.

Consider pets.

I certainly recognize that this is the "Cost of doing business" when you allow animals but I have had previous pet owners with little / no issues. 

Therefore, it’s usually best to have a written rental agreement.However, even if the agreement is oral, the landlord must give you a written statement regarding the name, street address, and phone number of the landlord or agent for receipt of legal notices; the contact information for the person who is to accept the rent; and how the rent is to be paid (for example by cash, check or money order.)It's especially important to have a written rental agreement if your tenancy involves special circumstances, such as any of the following: You plan to live in the unit for a long time (for example, nine months or a year);Your landlord has agreed to your having a pet or water-filled furniture (such as a waterbed); orThe landlord has agreed to pay any expenses (for example, utilities or garbage removal) or to provide any services (for example, a gardener).

Think of all the things that could go wrong and see if the lease addresses them: unauthorized pets or tenants, early termination, security deposit, lease violations, late rent, eviction, lawn maintenance, parking, etc.5.
