Site unseen lease - newbie

LaShea W.

I've got a home up for rent (our first rental property) and several approved applicants (verified previous landlord, employment, credit check, background check, copy of driver's license, pay stubs,FB stalked, etc.). I have one who doesn't want to lose the property, so he wants to paypal me the security deposit site unseen (and first month rent if necessary). He's afraid he'll lose the house to another applicant before he can get down to look at the home (job transfer from out of town). Do any of you do this? What is the best way to proceed?
