Re: escrow vs contract

I was unsure if this extra level of security is necessary it does cost a little money but to me it's like travel insurance . It was just a owner I was communicating with felt a signed contract was enough and they did not want to do the escrow even if I paid the whole amount. That made me nervous and their unit was a lot cheaper than similar ones listed. Yes ripping off someone is a crime but redweek does not guarantee that cannot happen and if it does occur chasing someone for 2000 is not going to be cost effective. As we know many people can forge private information and on your side I would think you would want some recourse if your renter is not what they seem thanks for the advice
