Typically you'll need a valid government-issued ID, proof of income (pay stubs, benefits letter, or bank statements), and references from a previous landlord if available. Call the Tenant Line and we'll walk you through everything specific to the property you're interested in.

Absolutely — this is one of our specialties. We work regularly with real estate investors, property managers, and Berkshire Hathaway agents to rehab, turn over, and maintain rental properties. We understand tight timelines and budget-conscious scopes.
