<prompt> Human: I didnt quite know where to put this, but oh whale. My wife and I found a nice house, at a very nice price, on Craigslist. The people are renting it, decided to not go through a realtor mentioning not liking the fees, how they did things and are handling the process themselves. Theyve sent us applications by email scanned, in case of malware, and were planning on going to the courthouse to check if the house is really theirs. Im curious if theres anything I can do, to ensure we dont get our poopers scooped. Is their anything we should look for, or that they should specifically be giving us? Thanks for taking the time to respond.  <response>: I would definitely see the inside of the house before you give these people any money.
