Re: escrow vs contract

Use Google and other means to check out the other parties. Do your homework and hopefully you will have a successful rental. I would guess that the vast majority of rentals go smoothly and your caution is understandable . Even ask others in the forum if they have ever heard of the parties you are dealing with. One thing you have to avoid is the free lance broker. That's someone who surfs the internet for available units and contacts the owner with a low offer and tries to re rent it for a profit. They have been known to rip off both sides of the transactions. Just be very cautious and do your homework and everything should go well. Redweek has posted some guidelines on how to rent successfully. Good luck.
