I realize that this topic has been beaten to death, but I wouldlike to point out one factoid. Down here in Florida - I'm down inthe southeastern part, and AK4EH is way up in the Panhandle -there have been a number of instances in which homeownerswere unpleasantly surprised to discover that their properties werebeing offered for rent (or, even, sale!) by unknown/unauthorized third parties. There's been a huge upheaval in the real estate market here, generallyspeaking, and a lot of people have been buying properties for cashbecause they don't want to endure the hassles of getting a mortgage.Problem is, they're not performing what lawyers (and business owners)call "due diligence", and end up at closing to discover that they'rehanding money over to someone who doesn't own the property. Oops.Same sort of thing is happening with rentals - folks put down a deposit,and start to move in, only to be faced by the local constabulary witha drawn firearm, at which point they realize that that great deal they goton the Internet was totally bogus. So, yes, there is always room for suspicion, sadly enough, and for thereasons that others have voiced in this thread, as well as other reasonsthat may not have come to light yet.
