Is it hard to rent a house without an established job in your new town?

We are moving to a new town (by choice, not because of a job), so my husband will be getting a new job once we arrive. He's an ASE certified master teach, and we have researched and jobs are plentiful. My fear comes in renting a house (real estate is HIGH there, plus we want to get to know the area before buying). We have been married 17 years and have never rented - always owned our own homes. Most of the rental applications I've seen ask for 2 pay stubs, gross salary, etc. I have an internet-based business (for the past nine years), so my business goes with me wherever I go, and I have tax returns to show my income. Hubby makes GREAT money, and he will have stubs from his old job but no NEW job. We also have A+ credit and very little debt. Will the pluses of our credit, home ownership history, etc. help, or do property management/landlords poo-poo you if you don't already have a job in the new place?

Answer:
As long as you have your income and adequate savings, you should have no problem. You have a stable history and that is attractive to many landlords.
Depends on what town you're moving into.
God yes. Your on a winner there. If you can provide all you said you can then you have every chance in the world
idk
you might be able with good credit, but you may need to stay in a hotel a week or two.
If I had a rental, I would want you for tenants!
Besides having the stability of being in a job, I hope you have savings to cover rent for a couple of months. I think any good landlord who took all the above into consideration would be glad to rent to you.
Take along letters of reference from you former employers and other business people you use.
there is no proplem,i know some people that rent being low imcome
