The way to Fill Out Rental Software Historical past after years of Van Life

Boglefriends,

I’ve been doing “van life” for 4 years. Earlier than that, I used to be a house owner. Earlier than that I used to be a renter.

As I’m now trying to apply for a rental property (on Zillow), I’m working into the query of the right way to full the rental software on Zillow. It has a piece by which I want to offer my present rental state of affairs and 3-year rental historical past (particularly, property tackle, title and speak to information for landlord, and many others.). Presumably that is for reference functions, to allow them to confirm that one has been a very good tenant. However it inherently presumes that one has been a renter for the ost 3 years. Since I’ve been doing van life for the previous 4 years, I don’t know what to place on this part.

How does one fill out the shape on this situation?

Will lack of a 3-year rental historical past preclude me from having the ability to get a rental?? One thing doesn’t appear proper about this, LOL!

Thanks

to op:
This may not be a problem with a property administration firm, leasing agent, Realtor Company, or Landlord property proprietor that doesn’t use a system like Zillow.
Perhaps work out a strategy to by some means get your data to the property proprietor, by way of the Zillow company, until Zillow is the property administration firm as a substitute of only a itemizing service. (undecided).
You would enter, possibly, “residing overseas”, and for contact put your self. Perhaps embody an image of your “van”. Like this.

It is a matter of getting previous the impersonal “template bot factor”.
Or, in case you have dad and mom or siblings or a pricey buddy that’s prepared to allow you to use their tackle and vouch for you if referred to as or contacted, then that is good too. Be versatile to work round and with the awkward digital techniques.
Failing that, attempt different rental companies, Realtor companies, different rental itemizing sources. If you happen to like an space then drive round and discover an condo complicated with an indication saying “vacancies” or leasing now, open home, new 3bdrm 2 bth models, transfer in reductions, versatile leases, and many others. And name or stroll in.
Get artistic. There’s extra than simply Zillow.
And, if yow will discover smaller proprietor operators the place you possibly can speak to an proprietor vs a leasing agent or different far eliminated distanced factor like Zillow then nice. Many house owners simply want to take a look at your financials and speak to you in individual to search out out in case you are sincere and dependable and all that. Most are skilled and your state of affairs isn’t new in any respect.

If you happen to can produce a stable credit standing and powerful financials, then that dominates the whole lot. All landlords need is reassurance of paying hire reliably. If cannot show supply of funds (revenue or retirement belongings/revenue stram), then issues will not be good.

Good luck in your search.

I’ve rented to 1000’s of tenants for 100’s of rental models over many many years. Because it was my property administration firm and my properties, I met each single certainly one of them in individual and confirmed them the vacant unit(s). For landlords, there isn’t any higher choose of character and sometimes far supersedes what’s on paper. For myself, it was enjoyable, but in addition higher screening.
