Hi!

Please work with a realtor to get a complete application filled out, including any known reasons for items that will come up as "hits" to your credit report. If your realtor knows your situation, he/she can explain this to the landlord's agent and there is no doubt you will be able to qualify for a property making $8,000 and month and reducing your currently monthly rent (at $2K/month you already make more than 3X the rent, the standard landlord's use)

The only hiccup I see is...

The only hiccup I see is a landlord that actually sets forth a policy that they don't rent to anyone with a credit score under a certain amount. Most don't, though. Most landlords factor in the whole pictures, which is the reason you should be up front about everything.. There is a chance they will ask for extra deposit, but that's normal. Ninety-nine percent of Landlords will require background and credit. Just know that this is the reason you are up front about any hardships you have come across lately. It is better to explain this ahead of time, before the landlord has to ask questions about it. I have helped several families who had experienced hard times secure leases b/c everything was laid out on the table!

I hope this was helpful. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance!
