When executing a lease in today’s market it’s important to follow the same systematic approach SCG uses in purchasing. We assist our clients in preparing an application and pulling a copy of their current credit report. Stricter lending guidelines, including higher down payment requirements for purchase, are making loan qualifications more difficult. Because of this more individuals are considering rental options, thus increasing the competition in the rental market. SCG believes in a proactive approach when targeting a “hot” rental property; it’s crucial to be “ready to shoot”.
