I'm in my office on a Sunday AM writing a lease for a property I showed yesterday.
My about-to-be-new tenant had his heart set on another home showed to him by a REAL ESTATE agent on behalf of the property owner.
My about-to-be-new tenant told the REAL ESTATE agent that he had been through foreclosure with his EXwife in CA 2 years ago.
Since then, my-about-to-be-new tenant has been deployed to "the sand box" for a year and has gotten hired by a local GOVERNMENT agency which * if I told you it's name, I would have to run over you in my MINI.
Needless to say, I am VERY happy this REAL ESTATE agent cum property manager took my-about-to-be-new tenant's application AND credit check fee then 10 minutes later e-mailed him that his application was rejected.
Whether the real estate agent actually ran his credit report or just talked with the property owner who rejected him as a tenant because of the foreclosure, I don't know......I just know that I am signing a lease with a HIGHLY skilled, HIGHLY employable rental applicant who is willing to give ME 12 months rent in advance.
