EVERYONE assumes job is either in the office or flipping burgers.That's like 60's,anyways im not too worried ill find a apartment(I definitely got the money for it)
Drug dealers may have similar "proof" of income. You are paying taxes on your income, right...?

Have you provided your employment contract to help explain the non-traditional way of being paid?

Maybe first you work on that attitude you have? Just because you're your own boss, doesn't make you better than other possible tenants

Second, I wouldn't trust someone simply showing me their bank account. For all I know, you sell crack and make good money doing so.

Tax forms are the easiest & most reliable, as they would also show if you're consistent with your earnings

My bank account along with the statements is showing the companies that pay me monthly(hence income).

In the end, the only way you'll qualify to rent an apartment is to supply whatever paperwork the owner or manager requires. It may or may not be what you feel is reasonable, but that doesn't matter.

If someone were to show me a PayPal statement instead of Tax Returns, I'd laugh. PayPal isn't meant to be used for "official" proof of anything. It's for people to buy crap online

What exactly makes you so special that you feel the manager or LL should circumvent their application process and give you special treatment?

You're going to have an interesting time when the day comes that you try to buy a home.
