Apartment Locating for People Who Sign the Front of the Check
You run a business, freelance, or earn on commission. The income is real — it just arrives without a pay stub. We find the San Antonio communities whose written policies accept bank statements, tax returns, and CPA letters, and we verify it before you spend a dollar on application fees.
Free to renters — the community pays our referral fee, and your rent is identical either way.

Why us
What a Locator Does for a 1099 File
Policy-first matching
We read each community’s written screening criteria before you pay an application fee — and shortlist only the offices whose own paperwork names a route for self-employed income: bank statements, tax-return averages, or prepaid terms. A policy with no such route never makes your list.
The documentation package
A screener should read your file once and move on. For each target we tell you exactly what to assemble — which months of statements, which returns, whether a CPA letter carries weight at that office — so the file lands complete instead of trickling in over a week.
Income math, translated
Two leasing offices can read the same Schedule C and compute two different incomes. Before you tour, we explain how each target’s written formula treats a two-year average, a seasonal swing, or a heavy expense year — so you apply where the arithmetic already works.
One licensed contact
You work with one licensed locator who has walked business-owner files through leasing offices before — not a portal, not a queue. The person who built your list is the person who picks up when a screener has a question about your paperwork.

How we compare
Community Search vs. Renting From a Private Landlord
The self-employed renter’s classic workaround: skip the screening software entirely and rent from a person. Sometimes that is exactly right — and it is worth being clear-eyed about what you give up.

Documentation Package vs. Paying a Year Upfront
Prepaying rent is the sledgehammer answer to the documentation question: no formula argues with money already in hand. Where a community’s written policy allows it, it works. The question is what it does to your operating cash.

Documentation Package vs. a Paid Guarantor Service
Guarantor services co-sign your lease for a fee, and where a community’s written policy accepts them, they turn a complicated file into a standard one almost overnight. The honest question is narrower: does your file actually need one?

Common questions
I’m self-employed. Can I even rent at the communities I want?
Almost certainly — at the right ones. Plenty of San Antonio communities put a self-employed route in their written criteria: bank statements, tax-return averages, a CPA letter, sometimes prepaid terms. The search is about finding those offices first, so your application fee only goes where the policy already fits your file.
What does an apartment locator cost me?
Nothing. The community pays us a referral fee when a renter we send signs a lease, and your rent is identical either way. That fee is how locating has worked in Texas for decades — we explain it once, up front, so there is no mystery about the model.
What documents should I have ready?
The usual set: two to three months of business bank statements, one or two years of tax returns, and sometimes a profit and loss statement or a short CPA letter. Which of those a given office weighs is written in its criteria — we check per community and hand you the exact list before you apply.
Do you promise approvals?
No, and nobody honest does. Screening decisions belong to each community. What we verify — in writing, before you pay an application fee — is that a community’s current policy accepts the kind of documentation you have. That removes the expensive guesswork; the decision itself stays where it legally lives.
How fast does this move?
Our target is a written first list within one business day of your call — communities matched to your budget, your areas, and how your income arrives. From there the pace is yours: tour when you can, apply when the package is assembled, and we stay on the phone with the leasing offices throughout.
Your income is real. Make the paperwork read that way.
Tell us your budget, your timing, and how the money arrives — 1099s, owner draws, commissions. We come back with communities whose written policies already have a route for it.
