Hey Guys JP here, 

I just finished renovating a 2 family home and currently filling the 2 vacancies. I have received some interesting inquiries thus far, but this one I had to share on here. I have included a picture of the email for you all to see (pay attention to the tenants email). 

Based on this email, would you consider renting to this tenant? lol why not?

    Well, there's no information in the e-mail, but based on the user name the tenant appears juvenile. On the other hand, they did use "Good evening", which is not common among millenials as far as I know. And yet on the other hand their sentence structure could use some work. 

    I would probably tell them yes and no, and go from there.

    There’s no info here. Get income, credit check and background check then go from there

    Haha I’d be a little scared. Can you discriminate based on usernames or email addresses? But no, as long as it was illegal I wouldn’t even think about it! #cashheroutside

    @JD Martin well I am a licensed realtor & after disclosing that information - she basically went went silent lol... My gut tells me this is prob one of those instances where having your license was advantageous to me :-)
