Are they legit?

americanhomehunters.org supposedly you pay them a $200 fee that is good for a lifetime and they help you find a Rent to Own home anywhere in the US...if you don't find one in 90 days you get the $200 fee back. I've never heard of them until I came across a home listing on craigslist and called to find out it's this organization. I just don't want to be scammed so how do I find out if this organization is for real or not?

A simple google search didn't bring anything up?

Its a scam. My boyfriend did something similar about 11 years ago. It wasnt as expensive though.

I'm guessing it's a scam.

Probably a scam.

No the only things that kept popping up were different links to different sections to their website.

Ok thanks. I also thought it was odd that the lady told me to ask for Theresa when I call back. I was like if it is such a big organization then how can you just give a first name you know?

When I read the OP, I literally thought to myself, "Wow! That's amazing! Maybe Aaron and I should do that so we could start the process of owning a home."

Then I read your comment and sighed with disappointment. No wonder it seemed to good to be true.

Yea I am pretty disappointed now bc we currently own our home, but we need to relocate to a different state for my husband's job very soon, but don't want to actually purchase a house until we've been in the area a while and know where we want to live for sure. I am so lost and I don't even know where to start looking for rentals that are legit? Any suggestions?

I was going to suggest just getting an apartment. I am not sure if they do it in New York, but some places will let you sign a 6 month lease so you don't have to worry about committing to a 1 year contract.

I live in NY now, but we are moving to a different state. We need an at least 3 bedroom house that will allow our 3 dogs(2 are large breed) & 1 cat. I don't even know where to look. I've been googling & looking on craigslist, but I am just so lost. We have never rented before.

Do you know the name of the newspaper to the area you guys are locating to? If so then you could always look in the classified ads for houses that are up for rent. If you are interested, I have time on my hands.. You can inbox me the city you're moving to and I can see what I can find to help. I love looking for houses. I browse million dollar homes just for fun. After a few minutes of doing that I always say I am going to start playing the lottery... But I never actually do. Haha.

Lol Thank You. No, I don't know the name of the newspaper, but I should find that out. That is a great idea. We are waiting to hear hopefully this week which position he got bc he applied for two positions & is guaranteed at least one of them. Depending on which one it is, is which state we will be moving too. It is so crazy. I just found this out this week. Either FL or PA so i've been trying to google both places & getting very frustrated in the process. I love looking for places too, but seems i'm only successful at it in NY lol. Probably bc I know the area here bc I have lived here all of my life.

If it's Pittsburgh, then look up the Pittsburgh Gazette. (I think that's what it is called).

I only know that because my husband is a die hard Steelers, Penguins and Pirates fan, and that is usually the online newspaper he visits for his sports information. He does it just in case Yahoo Sports, or the NFL, MLB and NHL websites don't have any new information. (Yes, he is that much of a sports fanatic haha).

Ok Thank You! Lol yea he definitely sounds like a sports fanatic. That is too funny!
