2)house rent $1850/month if rent to them, I don't know their income yet, the wife is a nurse, hu*****and is a maintance assistant director, with 16 year old and 13 year old sons, have their sick parents (they have hear attack and heart diese)live with them
3)house rent $1900/month if rent to them,just hu*****and and wife live, hu*****and is a rental car manager who has two jobs, but he told me his credit not good, his previous landlord report him late payment, he told me he paid the rent. He wannt 2 year lease to correct his bad credit.

The first two families eager to rent our house. The 3rd one will to see house this weekend.
