ale Solutions relocation company

[Hugo Luna]

Hi BP,

I have a property listed for rent in Woodland, CA and received a call from an ale Solutions agent who claims to be relocating a family that lost their home to a fire. The agent is only looking for a 9 month lease with a month to month option and is offering to pay a premium (+$400/month) if I accommodate her request. It all sounds great, but I am hesitant because I have never worked with such agencies. Of course, I would still run a credit and background check on the prospective tenants.

Has anyone ever worked with ale Solutions?

Hi @Clarissa Hom

I was also very skeptical, but they kept me engaged by the money they offered....money talks right? lol

I started doing my own research and pretty much found negative comments online, but thought I should research elsewhere. I started by calling the state of California to confirm the legitimacy of the company and everything cleared. Next, I asked to meet the family that was in need of the home. During the meet and greet I learned a lot about the family and felt more confident that what I was getting involved with was legit. Of course, I was still concerned about the possibility of late or missed rent but luckily I worked out a deal with ALE where they paid me 2x the security deposit along with 3 months rent pre-paid. This made the decision a no brainer.

As of today, I haven't had any issues with the tenants or the insurance company. The account is always pre-paid for 3 months which gives me peace of mind. 

As long as you feel comfortable with the future tenants and negotiate a deal with little risk to you, I would say go for it. It is the easiest money I have ever made! This is definitely a lucrative niche in REI.

Let me know if you have any other questions!
