@Simcha Frand I have ran into this problem myself, I've found if you have an address use trulia app.

Trust me I know.What I would doStart advertising the rental.

Potentially this “slow rolling” during that 30 day period is designed to stall the amount of time you have to realize there are serious problems that need addressing?

Are there international complications I/we should address?

The agent/investors that are doing well is because they treat one of those things as a full time job and the other part compliments it.Lets address each point of your post.1. 

They don't typically post the address or much infohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?

They perform a nationwide search for the following: credit score, evictions, prior addresses going back a decade or so, criminal history and so much more.First you set up an account with Rent Perfect.

I get worried when someone says 50k lol that is assuming a 50k-80k utility overhaul.As far as leaks and I’m unaware of anything like that but I will address that for sure I want to thank you for bringing that up.

@Tonya Thompson Please either post the property address here, or send me a PM (you have to make a colleague request if you didn’t know).This whole thing sounds Way off, like a scam. 

The only exception I'd say to this would be if you have a close connection to another part of the country and you already have a manager/team there you trust.
