There have been discussions in the past related to getting credit or buying / renting a house with no job. We are going thru the process right now so I thought I would let y'all know how it went.
We sold our house in Texas and are about to move to Florida. DW is there now and found a house to rent. We are moving on July 4th. The application was done online. It asked for our monthly income. We entered the amount that we draw monthly. Once she entered "retired" as our occupations, it asked for us to take pics of bank and / or investment account statements and upload the pics. We weren't all that comfortable with that but I don't think we really had a choice since we have no W-2s.
We took pics of our bank statement which has a large amount of cash from the sale of our house and our 457 statements. We also took a pic of my pension statement. Between our credit being very good and our investment account balances, we were approved quickly with no problems.
