They do not have any w2 income, however they have all these other streams of income from various sources, charity groups, SSI, state or federal government funds, child support, alimony.

DTI ratio must be 33% or higher, minimum credit score of 720, background check, no pets, non smokers, must sign No drugs on the property document (Federal standard so marijuana is out even if legal at the state level).While I don't specifically look for blue or white collar tenants, I've only ever had white collar tenants.
