How are you? Thanks for the interest in my House, my house is still available for rent and is located 1405 Davidson St, Nashville, TN 37206 quite and safe only need someone that can take good care of the house at my absence because right now am not around i just secured a contract in Cairo Egypt of which i will not be back until after 2 years. And am here with the house keys and document, i tried to look for management before i left but couldn't get any in time. But the one i got we got a deal, but later my friend advised against that. I reasoned with him and accepted him advise. So I contacted the agent back and let her understand that i am no longer interested in handling the property to her any more. So later we decided to have the house rent out, we would have give the agent this job also but the truth of the matter is that the agent would want to handle it professionally and the occupant may not be able to reason along with her later. If you notice, you will discovered that the price we are offering is far below standard price, this is enough for you to know that we are not after the rental fee but the absolute care for the property. So If you know that you have a good reference and a good credential you can email me back to secure and occupy my house at my absent.
NB: You can go check the neighborhood and get back to me for further discussion,any sign post will be removed once i get any responsible tenant so you ignore the sign post cause i have stop dealing and contacting the Realtor for too much fees i pay trying to ripe me off. It is available for a long term lease as we will be here for 2 years and also intend buying a new home on getting back to the states.

This person asks for a deposit payment via Western Union, MoneyGram or bank transfer with a promise that you can have the keys to a property that does not belong to him.
Sounds safe. It's not!
At other times, he will ask for proof that you are able to pay the deposit and rent due to a string of time wasters.
This proof is in the form of a Western Union or MoneyGram payment to a lawyer,a friend or family member.
In either case, if payment is made and you give this person the details, they will collect the money.
You will not hear from them again.
All the details such as names, addresses, pictures etc. that the scammer uses in order to back up his story, are stolen from elsewhere.
If you are reading this because you are looking for property to rent, and you are in contact with this thief you are probably searching Craigslist, Gumtree or similar listing sites. If you receive any requests from 'Landlords' asking for some kind of payment before viewing, then it will also be a scam. Please forward the mail to me at the address in my signature line and I will investigate and list them if necessary.
