Default Re: What the hell do I tell a leasing agent?

Whatever you do, don't lie to them about anything. I am a landlord or several units and if I catch even the wiff of a possible lie, they never see the keys.

Some advice.

1. Don't offer a big deposit or extra rent months, you will look like a meth lab operator.

2. Tell them what you do. Print out your Neteller statements and bank account statements.

3. Show them your quarterly taxes, if you are up on them, otherwise, your regular taxes will do.

4. Be honest! If they are a good landlord, they will verify everything. Having a good landlord means things get fixed and the unit is worth staying in.

ps. Regarding no-doc loans... the poster is correct. Just be prepared to pay a higher interest rate. And I mean more than 1% more usually.
