@Matthew Paul  Thanks. Doing that now.

@Matt M. Thank you!!

Well, its a relief to know that this exact scenario is common.

@Victor N. Thank you!!!

Great stuff. Okay - if he checks out, I may offer slightly higher rent for MTM lease.

Thanks, @Jim Adrian!!! Yes - on the application, I'm expecting to see the mortgage from his old home on his list of current mthly payments since he'll likely still be on the line for that...

That's IF we get to the application...

I'm starting to get a little better picture of what his profile will look like...

@Thomas S. Month-to-month lease! Thank you! Yes, I got the sense that the divorce wasn't finalized... anything can happen...

@Anthony Wick Thank you!! And thanks for the note about checking court records!!!

@Alex S.  @Robert Biggerstaff  Oh, wow... Well, I'm glad I asked.

I hate to even meet him if he's probably going to be waste of time...

I should have mentioned that, over the phone, he asked how soon he can move in.... If I'd said "tomorrow", I'm fairly certain he'd have packed his bags and got the funds ready (or would the funds have been "ready"? Maybe only the bags would have been packed...).

*sigh*  Thanks you, guys. I'll follow up with him by email... maybe...

I have a prospective tenant that is eager to move b/c he is living out of a hotel now (in the midst of a divorce; divorce hasn't finalized yet).

He hasn't started the application process yet but when I mentioned cost to move in + presenting 2 pay stubs and 2 bank statements, he didn't seem to wince (though, we were speaking over the phone).

His income, credit score, criminal history, eviction history still hasn't been verified/checked.

But I'm still new to this and I don't know if tenants in a rush to move can cause problems later... In your experience, can they?

@Grant Rothenburger Gotcha. I sent an email, asking for her real name. Next time, I’ll just reserve that question for the first phone call.

@Dave Rav I do see what you mean!

@Marcia Maynard Yes - I could have waited to ask about her name on the first phone call and listen to her explain the reason for the alias. Thank you!
