So good news, we got approved on a rental house..bad news we haven't actually seen more of it than the front room because it isn't ready for viewing but my kids have been in it because a friend of theirs use to live there..house is a big...only pictures are some old online pics.
Here's the thing, they're letting us look today..however if someone were to be approved and race to he bank with the deposit they'd get it over me. This is all very stressful seeing as the house is around the corner from me and from what I've seen fits everything we need.
I'm right now going with the idea that if you call the company and ask about said house they say "ready for viewing on the 17th" and if you call the direct line to view you get nothing as it's not ready...hopefully this means everyone will think "just have to wait" so everything goes well. I just can't justify giving them 500 dollars I won't get back without walking the whole house. It had no apps when we applied and had been sitting in this condition for roughly 2 weeks beforehand..
You guys think I'm good?
Is this through a company or a private owner? And are they wanting you to "race to the bank" and deposit money into their account?
This is what I do. I manage rental properties. I have for over 15 years and have dealt with a lot of scams and people who have been scammed. Right now my antennae are up, but I'm not calling scam just yet. Need more details.
Can you meet someone IN PERSON who has the
legal right to let the house? If not, then I would be very wary.
