The firm called with a proposal to rent 12 weeks of our ownership over a period of 6 years. They would pay us the total rental price for those weeks within a months time, after the contract had been approved, with no funds 'up-front'.
Following their receipt of the signed document for rental, they said there was a $992 fee that had to be wired to Mex. For a title search. I asked them to send it to an escrow account in my bank, since all owner's 'costs' were to be refunded to the owner before closing. They said they could not do that, so I wired the money since I wanted to know where this was all going.
After they received the funds, their escrow partner, United World Escrow of Henderson, NV, called to inform me that there was another cost of $15,000 for Mex. Taxes and other charges that must be paid before transfer of funds could be made to the owner.
