Is “rentbeforeowning.com” legit?
I was searching for a rental property on RentJungle and noticed that over half of the listings in my desired area are also featured on the rentbeforeowning.com site. It appears to operate on a pay-based membership model, which makes me a bit cautious, as it seems somewhat dubious. Has anyone here used this site for renting or buying before? Alternatively, have you had experiences with similar rent-to-own services?

Rent to own can work in some situations, but most of the time the renter loses out. It is a much better option for a person with bad credit to continue to rent, live below their means to accumulate cash and repair their credit rating over a few years or so, and THEN go look to own. Rent to own is a desperation move for people who probably need to be renting anyway and not owning.
None of the homes listed were in the areas I requested. Before becoming a member (not) I checked the houses posted on the website against the homes in my area. Not even close. I’m not about to pay money to find out what I now know. It is a scam.
This is a known phishing scam attempting to get you to give them all your personal info. It’s not from Yahoo, just delete it and ignore it. Good luck and be careful.

This is a bogus website. I offer lease option homes and advertise on Zillow and craigs. Rentbeforeowning STOLE my ad from Zillow and is charging folks to look at my very old ad.
It should be illegal. Complete scam. Legal scam to commit, but still a scam.
absolutley not a scam, very legal. just cancel during trial and wont be charged. some people are very dumb
IT certainly needs to be checked into. I thought it was safe. but better to be safe than sorry. credit checks are how I think they get you.
