How we evaluate applications

What matters most to MCG Homestead

MCG Homestead looks at your current situation — not just your history. Here is what weighs most in an application review.

Verifiable income

2.5× the monthly rent from the last 30 days. For the 1BR at $770/mo, that is ~$1,925/mo. Pay stubs, bank statements, employer letters, or benefit award letters all qualify.

Current rental or employment stability

Evidence that your current situation is stable — a current employer, a stable residence, or active housing voucher — matters more than what happened years ago.

Context for past issues

If you have a prior eviction or broken lease, explain the circumstances. Loss of income, medical hardship, domestic situation — these are reviewed with context, not dismissed.

Call before you apply

If you are unsure whether your history will be an issue, call us at (254) 415-7480 or email us before paying the application fee. We are straightforward about what we can work with.
