The first deal was a night mare....the broker scammed me into buying a home where she new the owner and he was selling to go back to his homeland of Portugal where they are both from.

I just hope BP is not promoting Scams

I consider it a legal scam as the agencies that provide the doctors that rubber stamp the certificate are legitimate agencies (same agencies that certify the legitimate service animals) that collect fees for this serviceSo far if I allowed animals at the unit I have accepted the certificate and have not collected additional moneys (normally I charge additional cleaning deposit and a small increase to the monthly rent (1st animal is charged more than subsequent animals)). 

It looks like the collections company are trying to take people for a dummy since there is so much foreign investors here in south florida,  its a lot of scam here.  

Sure seems to be more 'beware' posts than normal the last couple weeks (I dubbed Labor Day week 'scam week') so your timing is perfect @Karen Margrave.  

Being a post from CL, I had to check out your link worried it was a scam in disguise.  

My property always ends up being re-posted with scam info attached and the quality of applicant I get there always seems to be not quality.

Throughout my research to see if that company was a scam or not,  I came across Bigger Pockets.

After reading the recent post about a "scammer" I was convinced I should share my experience with the BP community. Perhaps to some it may look like I was foolish and I guess I was. I was embarrassed I had been duped,...
