First Step Equity, American Standard Online and Anchor House Financial are some of the names this company goes by on Craigslist. Their ads show attractive homes which they claim you can 'Rent To Own'.
When you call, you're asked to pay a $199 fee for their 'listings'. What you get is a list of homes in foreclosure (which you can get for free elsewhere). It's up to you to contact the distressed homeowner and try to make a 'rent to own' deal with them. The company has nothing to do with the actual rental.
The pictured homes don't exist. You're told the listings are 'representative' of what is available.
They also list several other phone numbers in their ads:
877-395-1297
877-395-1302
877-395-1304
