Corporate Housing opportunity legit or not?
Hello! My husband and I just bought a second home - planning to rent the other. We’ve never done this before so we are learning as we go. We posted the rental and one of the inquiries I received was from a company that claims they do corporate rentals. I say claims because it all sounds too good to be true! The name is Metis Properties and I cannot find much info on them other than the website they provided, which doesn’t immediately come up if you do a Google search. The person I spoke to has provided credit score, previous tax forms, and account statements. But I also can’t find a whole lot of info on her either (I even did a linkedin search and a page with not a lot of info comes up. Based on some advice I found here I looked them up on the CA Secretary of State website (where the business is based, I’m in AZ though) and it was registered Dec 3rd this year, with one previous business registered in the same name but suspended. The company will lead for 12 month minimum, has insurance and will be responsible for maintenance and cleaning, etc between tenants. But I mean if this is a scam or not legit what do they get out of it? Any advice? Help! Thanks so much!
