Relocating sight-unseen? Watch for rental scams
Out-of-state transferees are the prime target for fake-rental fraud: the listing looks real, the "landlord" is conveniently out of town, and they want a wire transfer before you can see the place. Before you send any money, run the address through our free scam detector - it cross-checks county ownership records, HUD fair-market rent, and listing consistency.
