So I was bored surfing Craigslist yesterday and found an add for this guy that is willing to do rehab work for a free place to live. I was intrigued so I reached out to him. He emailed me back he seemed kind of eccentric in his email. I'm sitting here thinking what type of person would do this? I know I would do it to get my own property fixed up but not someone else's. I have emailed him back asking why he would be willing to do something that. I was just curious as to what others thought about this guy.

Note: I did not give the property address. I am waiting for the guy to reply to my question.

I hate to be a pessimist... but once he gets the keys he can kick back and do nothing... and pay nothing... and have a free place to live until you go through the painful eviction process... and tear up the property because he has nothing to lose...

No thanks!
