The RV Index is a risk score based on a number of factors is
an innovative move in qualifying criteria. This index will be used
to screen and qualify applicants and guarantors. By using
this inclusive index opposed to our prior practice, we take a step
toward future industry standards of fair practice. Depending on
your property, an RV index of 40 or 50 will need to be
achieved. Instead of just credit score and income, the index
takes a look at a number of factors such as:
1. Payment history on all trade lines
2. Ratio of rent to income
3. Ratio of debt to income
4. Collections
5. Ratio of positive to negative credit lines
