Some buyers get scared of....so are you going to risk scaring off a legitimate buyer if no other offers exist?

They legitimately are in a situation where they want to trade time and convenience for money. 

Most great sponsors do not have podcasts or similar digital presences (that doesn't mean the ones who do aren't legitimate).

If you're paying them interest, you're probably going to need to fill out some kind of forms with the IRS anyway.I can't think of a legitimate reason someone would require remaining anonymous and use that much cash. 

Stepping outside of real estate-focused venues, and especially according to most of the traditional financial planning industry, that number is quite low, however.

There are many fake websites impersonating legitimate companies and some have been discussed here.

Of course, there are plenty of folks that succeed in that venue, though.

I think the biggest win is not having a totally legitimate, yet unfamiliar to some lenders, delayed financing option that may limit pool of final mortgagees.That does bring up my second hesitation about Memphis though.

To verify the business is legitimate, I feel like I should ask for more, but am highly suspicious he is getting paid cash...and not sure if I care/that’s a red flag, when all other indicators point to paying rent wouldn’t be an issue.

The fact that I own both is irrelevant as it is a legitimate arm length transaction.
