Our standards of yesterday may end up excluding up to 40 percent of your applicants. In order to keep your property rented you may have to modify your rental qualification standards.
The entire lending situation has created a new class of tenants. Individual tenants recently were homeowners and have now become tenants again. I have made a business decision that a foreclosed individual does not provide as high of risk as in the "old days". So even though this individual has lost ownership of a home, I believe he/she may be a reasonable risk.
