problems trying to rent while unemployed
Join the military. You get free/cheap housing and invest the house
profits for the years you ar in Iraq.. If you survive you can use
GIbill to buy a house.

Hello,
I find myself unemployed, and it's likely to be that way for
the next 3 - 6 months until I complete some training.
In the meantime, we've sold our house, and expect to clear
$250,000 + in profits when it closes in a couple of weeks.
We plan to rent for a year and then re-evauate things
at the end of the lease.
The problem we're having is that rentals, particularly those
that go thru a rental agency, are balking at renting to us
(myself, wife and two children)
even though our credit reports are good, and we're about to
get a big balance at the bank.
Anybody have any tips for improving our situation?
I came up with the idea of just offering the landlord
6 months rent in advance, even the full year,
but not sure of any legal implications of that.
TIA for any info.
Dave
