Quote from @Jason Bobby: Quote from @Cliff Benner: @Jason Bobby I have tried Stessa and I didn't Like it, I am an Accountant and went to School for Accounting, so for me I needed a software that allowed me to make Journal Entries and at the time I used Stessa, I was unable to do that, and I did not like the way the reports read when I pulled a P&L & Balance Sheet.I have found Wave to be a decent software, it is just a free General Ledger Bookkeeping software, not industry specific at all, but allows integrations.

No.A wholesaler doesn't need a proof of funds letter.

I agree with @Cody L. that San Diego isn't the obvious market for buy and hold cash flowing properties.

Hospitals don’t vet spouses, and every horror story I’ve seen with travel nurse rentals has come from the non-nurse half of the household.Income can come from either, but verify it.Some landlords rely entirely on the nurse’s contract letter — and that’s fine if they’re the sole payer.But if the spouse is contributing or working remotely, verify their income the same way you normally would.Bottom line:Screen both adults.Base income approval on whoever is actually paying the rent.Use the nurse’s assignment letter as proof of stability, not as a free pass for the spouse.It keeps things fair, consistent, and avoids the “I wish I would’ve screened the partner” headache that way too many landlords talk about.

Simple plan that's seldom mentioned:  spend a few hours in L/T court each week. 

We sometimes rely on the letter of employment if its just the Nurse staying.

Send handwritten letters.
