You probably don't know which threshold you crossed. Answer a few questions about your file and we'll name the path most likely to work, a backup, and what each one costs.

Amount and whether it is paid or open both matter, and they change which properties can still say yes. 2. 2 gavel ### Filing or judgment An eviction filing, a judgment, and a dismissal are three different things on a Tarrant County screen. Age matters too, a 2019 judgment reads differently than a 2025 one. 3. 3 query\_stats ### Credit band and income type Under 560, 560 to 619, or 620 and up. W-2, self-employed and 1099, or a housing voucher. These two answers usually decide the primary path on their own. 4. 4 group ### Cosigner and cash at signing Whether you have someone who can sign, and how much cash you can actually put down on day one. This decides which of two priced options is cheapest for you. How every path page works ## The same five questions, in the same order, every time Paths stack. Most approvals use two, so no page treats them as either-or. A pet owner with a broken lease needs the pet path and the money-owed path, and the cost is the sum. Have us route it for you [/contact/ →](/contact/) 1. ![Five approval path summaries laid out on a desk with costs circled](/images/misc/close-up-of-five-approval-path-summaries-printed-a.webp) 2. 1 ### Does this apply to you? Every path page opens by telling you who it is for and who it is not for, so you can rule it out in ten seconds instead of reading a sales page. 3. 2 ### What does it cost? In total dollars over the lease term, not per month. A guarantee is a real expense, a doubled deposit is real cash at signing, and a co-signer is a real obligation for someone else. 4. 3 ### What do you have to produce? The documents, the signatures, and the thresholds. If a guarantor needs a higher income multiple than you do, that page says so before you ask someone. 5. 4 ### Which Fort Worth properties accept it? Acceptance varies by management company and submarket, not by neighborhood. We confirm by phone and attach the date we confirmed it. 6. 5 ### What if it fails? A denial on one path is information, not the end. Every path page ends with the stack, the second path to try and what it adds in cost. Pick your entry point ## The paths themselves Read the one that sounds like your situation. If two sound like you, that's normal, they stack, and we price the combination. ![A renter reviewing a deposit agreement at a Fort Worth leasing office counter](/images/misc/candid-photo-of-a-renter-at-a-leasing-office-count.webp) account\_balance\_wallet ### Deposit Alternatives & Money Owed The money-owed path: deposit alternatives, doubled deposits, and last-month-up-front for renters with a balance, collection, or eviction filing.

Property criteria vary and change without notice, screening software returns decisions we don't control, and a leasing manager can decline for reasons we never see. What we can do is tell you where you stand: which paths your file keeps open, what each one costs in real dollars, and which Fort Worth properties accept them as of the date we called. If a path fails, we stack the next one and send replacements the same day. Straight answers ## Questions about the paths ### Which path should I start with? expand\_more Start with whatever is most likely to trip the screen. If you owe a balance or have a filing, start with the money-owed path. If your file is thin or your income is 1099, start with the guarantor path. If neither applies and you just want the best deal, start with lease-ups. ### Can I use more than one path? expand\_more Yes, and most approvals do. A guarantor plus a structured deposit is a common pairing. We price the combination rather than making you pick. ### Do I pay anything to use a path? expand\_more Our service is free. The paths themselves have real costs (a guarantor service charges a premium, a doubled deposit is cash at signing) and we put a dollar figure on each one before you commit to anything. ### What if I get denied anyway? expand\_more Tell us. A denial tells us which threshold your file crossed, which is information we didn't have before. We stack a second path and send replacement properties the same day. ### How long does the whole thing take? expand\_more We usually come back with a routed list the same day you contact us. From there, the timeline depends on the path, a guarantor service approval can be same-day, a voucher inspection takes longer. We tell you the expected window up front. ### Still have a question? Tell us your budget, move date, and anything on your record you're worried about. We usually come back the same day.
