How complete and honest this listing is, from what the source sites show and Roofy’s own checks. It isn’t a rating of the home or the agent. How the score works

This score is held at 50: the rent is far below similar homes in its neighborhood, a common sign of a rental scam. Never send money before you have seen the home.
