Subletting company a scam?

[Gretchen Williams]

I have a duplex in Columbus , OH. One side is traditional rental and the other side I have furnished and have been renting as STR. I advertise on Furnished Finder, Zillow etc. Recently I have had 2 different people kinda proposing the same thing: they want to sign a year lease with me not to live there but to then in turn rent it out short term to others. Since I have been semi successful with this approach I can see it working. However neither person is local , they both have filled out applications and seem to check out , but both have "Not for Real ID" IDs which seems like a red flag to me. My friend recently told me of this scenario where the person I lease to would perhaps then double book individuals and keep deposits.

Was just curious if anyone else has been approached in this manor, and if I am just overthinking this.

thank you!
