You need this to extinguish any future claims regarding terms of the lease, names of occupants and deposits held.If your tenant is already scamming HAP, it's not a huge stretch to think that she'll try to falsely claim that you're holding an extra month's rent.You also need a copy of that current lease attached to the estoppel.  

Airbb seems to be ridiculous with many scamming to get refunds, the platforms take a big chunk of profits, renting to people you know will cut down on the likelihood of home being trashed.

Walk every unit with an ipad, make written notes and pics of what each unit needs re upgrades--match that to remaining rental contract length.Have a professional inspection done, with a sewer cam, also be aware if anti backflow devices have been installed, and where they are at (exactly where they are at).Pay attention to the electrical system in the inspectors report.Walk the entire lot with the ipad and make written and pic notes of things you must improve, want to improve.You will need to have fixup dollars estimated for the needed repairs and upgrades.You may have to pay a General Contractor to walk with you to give you estimates.That's just a few things off the top of my head--there are many more.Good Luck!

It is a small issue in context that certainly does not rise to the program being a "scam".9.

Done right, yes, 100%, it should absolutely be cash-flowing at move out and fully leasing and if on analysis don't see that exit, than it's yet another over-priced BS scam of a "deal" trying to take advantage of the "gold-rush" too house-hacks.

Is this a potential scam?

If everything else is verifiable and they don't have any criminal record, we don't even worry about the landlord part any more since 90% of them won't bother calling back, and of the remainder half might be scams and the other half might have an axe to grind.

Scam for sure.

Everyone thinks it's a scam but if you reword it to consignment or contract facilitator it sounds better.

But that seems to say that if you're engaging in such activities, you MUST be licensed which wouldn't be anti-wholesale.Could you point me to where you heard wholesaling as a Realtor is illegal in Maryland?
