I don’t know about others, but as a landlord, I don’t like to rent to self employed people whose income i cannot easily verify.
I do. If their references/credit check out, they’re more likely to stay longer and pay on time, since they’ve probably had experience with narrow-minded a$$hat thinking as above. i.e. harder for them to find other options makes them a good tenant.
Grad (especially med) students and self-employed tend to make the best tenants.
Also, I like the idea of giving someone who’s operating outside the “system” where good, boring drones are “supposed” to operate a leg up. It’s my small version of a “F Yourself With a Cossack Dagger” to corepirate Dumbericantia.
