I received this email in response to an inquiry for an ad on Craigslist for a 1-bedroom apartment at 1/3 the price of all the others. The ad seemed too good to be true, and it's gone from Craisglist now, a day later. Red flags include the following: -The unit described is actually an apartment, not a condo, so she could not own the unit. -This property does not have a garage -Any renovated property in the area goes for 3-4 times the price offered -The photos she sent along were from the property's web site -Who would be willing to rent for 1 month-6 years? -She is not using a real estate agent, who could show the property for her and get her a reasonable rental rate. Hello, Thanks for taking the time to look at my property. My name is Samantha Colin, I'm 39 years old, I own this beautiful 1 bedrooms,1 bathrooms (800 square footage). It's located in 401 Commonwealth Ave Alexandria, VA 22301. The prime location can't be beat and the garaged parking is an amenity sure to be appreciated by anyone. The condo is fully furnished with all necessary amenities(exactly like in the pics),the unit is equipped with recessed lighting, central air and heat, the condo come with two parking spots,a storage unit where you can deposit my furniture (if you don't like it and you want use your furniture),there is also a linen closet, and most importantly, a new front loading stacked washer and drier.Pets allowed. I've moved to United Kingdom with my job and decided to rent it because the rent is very expensive here.The price is so low because I'm here and is very hard to find a tenant.I can rent you the condo for min. 1 month and max. 6 years(or more).I really want to find a good and responsible tenant for it, and I hope that you can send me some personal information about yourself. The rent for the whole condo for 1 month is $600 including all utilities(water,electricity, internet, cable, parking , airconditioning, fireplace, dishwasher, garbage) and the security deposit is 600$(you'll get the deposit back at your departure-or you can use it to pay your last month of rent) and I want to receive the money monthly in my bank account. You can move in the condo in the same day when you receive the keys. The only problem is that I`m the only person who has the keys and I have nobody in United States that could show you the condo. In order to check it, see if you like it(I'm sure that you'll love it), you need to receive the keys and the contract. If you want to rent the condo, please e-mail me back and I will explain you how the payment and shipping will take place!
