Hello,
Thanks for your interest.I must confess that I am very very new in this landlord business.My name is David Mccord ,I own the house located at (329 w Bruce St Harrisonburg, VA 22801)My lovely home is still available for lease and i want a responsible person or family who are neat and also believed that they have all what it takes to take care of the house as if it where there own.Please be informed that i am leasing the house because I was transferred from my place of work to Waldo Fl and i came over with my lovely wife Yoanna Mccord because of the love I have for her and we shall be staying for at least 4 to 5 years before coming back to the house. I work as a Robotic Programmer & Welder/Fitter here in Decatur and got married to a lovely wife who is a member of Joyce Meyer Ministries.we both bought the house when we got married.We wanted to sell the house since we will be staying longer than we thought so we searched for an agent and getting upon
getting one we stroked a deal but later my wife advised me not to sell the house anymore. I reasoned with her and accepted her advice so we contacted the agent back and requested for our keys and documents and put it for rent since we will back to the house in the next 4 to 5 years.We would have given the same agent this job also but the truth of the matter is that the agent was asking too much of an agent fee and also made the rent high.We were not getting the responses we needed so i decided to terminated our contract with them and put it up for rent ourselves.If you notice, you will discover that the price we are offering is far below standard price and this is enough for you to know that we are not after the rental fee but the absolute care for the property.The house is available for as long as you want.The rent is $400 and $400 for Security Deposit For this 2BR/2BAth/ 1,650 sqft....Utilities such as Air Conditioner Dishwasher Walk-in Closet
Refrigerator Vaulted Ceilings Washer/Dryer Cable etc are all included in the rent.

Looking forward to hearing from you with all this details so that i can have it in my file in case of issuing the receipt for you and contacting you. Await your urgent reply so that we can discuss on how to get the document and the keys to you. Note than you will only be able to drive by the house for now but not have a look at the interior until i have sent the keys and documents of my house to your destination, and the requirement for getting the keys and documents of the house is to secure the home with the move in cost as stated above, but i am giving you a benefit of doubt that you will love everything about this lovely home. You are advised to act fast on this so you don't lose the house to other interested applicants.
Best Regards,
William D Knowles.

But he texted from the 760 # but called from the 646-535-3674
He has another listing in Harrisonburg Virginia figured it was scam cause I know the area pretty good and homes don't go for as cheap as he was renting it. We need to figure out who this guy is and get him locked up.
