Hello,

Thank you for your interest in my apartment, it is still available. I

will try to give you as many details as I can regarding the apartment

in the following email.

The full address of the apartment is *** *** St, Jersey City,

NJ 07302. Everything is just like in the pictures, fully equipped with

all the appliances you need, very clean and well kept. The apartment

can be rented furnished or if you want you can use your furniture and

deposit mine in the storage unit. I work as an civil engineer and the

company I work for has developed projects all around the world. Now, I

have received an very good offer from them to move to the United

Kingdom department, offer that I have accepted.

The apartment is vacant so you can move-in anytime you want, also my

contract in UK is for the next 6 years, so for this period, I will not

return 100%.

The rent of 1000$/month is for the whole apartment and includes all

the utilities: heat, water, electricity, parking, laundry in-suite,

washer and dryer also included, cable and internet. You will have full

access to all building amenities. Just in case repairs are needed

there, I will cover the costs, so no worries. The price I’m asking is

below the market because I want to find a responsible tenant to take

good care of the place.

I’m the owner of the apartment, it’s already paid in full and there is

no mortgage on it. You have everything you need near-by (public

transportation, schools, groceries etc.). Also I love pets, so if you

have any pets, I won’t have any problem, pets are allowed. Honestly

from point of view I’m sure that You’ll love it for sure and rent it

on spot.

I would like to know how many people will live in the apartment and

also how long do you intend to rent the apartment for?

Please let me know if you are really interested in the place so we can

discuss further.

Thank you and look forward hearing from you!

Michael

PS: I attached you all the pictures that I have with the apartment (as

you can see everything is in absolutely perfect condition).

Hi again,

Like I said in my previous email, I will do my best to be as transparent as possible during the whole transaction, so to build up confidence and gain peace of mind, I have attached a copy of my PASSPORT to this email. Also please know that you will receive official documents from Wimdu also, before making the deposit to them.

Regarding the process, you will have to deposit the first month rent + last month rent, a total of 2000$ (1000+1000) to Wimdu, so they can proceed with the shipping, and you can receive the rental package (keys and documents). Once you will receive the keys, you can go and inspect the apartment. Please know that I will pay for all the fees that Wimdu will take. (transaction and shipping fees).

Below I will explain step by step how the transaction with the Wimdu works, to avoid any misunderstanding please READ CAREFULLY THE FOLLOWING STEPS:

1 – To start the process all I need is your contact information: full name, mailing address (street, number, city and postal code), cell phone number, move-in date and lease agreement preferred (e.g. 6 months or 1 year rental contract with option of renewal). The lease agreement will be a standard one from the government.

2 – Once I will have your contact information and your approval, I will go to the Wimdu office (UK) to start the transaction and I will give them the apartment keys and necessary documents.

3 – Wimdu will check everything, including the ownership documents, and if everything is in order they will proceed with the transaction. They will also confirm that I’m the legal owner of the apartment I’m renting to you.

4 – Wimdu will send you a notification (via email) where they will inform you that the keys and the documents are in their custody. Also they will send you all the steps, how to proceed and all the transaction details.

5 – At this point you need to send the amount of 2000$(1st month rent + last month rent) to the the Wimdu payments representative (lawyer escrow account) provided to you in the notification. THE PAYMENT NEEDS TO BE SENT WITHIN 24 BUSINESS HOURS AFTER YOU WILL RECEIVE THE TRANSACTION DETAILS OR ELSE THEY WILL CHARGE ME AN ADDITIONAL FEE.

6 – As soon as the payment is completed you need to send the payment details to Wimdu . (a copy of the receipt proving that you sent them the deposit).

7 – Wimdu will verify the payment and if everything is in order they will start shipping procedures using UPS Next Day Shipping Service.

8 – You will receive the package (keys and documents) and you will have 5 business days (inspection time) to check the place and decide if you want to rent it.

9 – If you decide to rent the apartment you just need to sign the lease agreement that Wimdu sends, email it to them and they will release the funds to me. If after the 5 days inspection you will decide not to rent the apartment, Wimdu will refund the whole deposit.

PLEASE NOTE:

Your deposit is INSURED by Wimdu, this means that if you will not sign the lease agreement for any reason, Wimdu will refund you the whole deposit, so you are 100% protected.

They CANNOT release the funds without your approval, they can do it ONLY after you will send them the lease agreement with your signature. (after the 5 days inspection period).

Wimdu will send you official documents (invoice, rental agreement and insurance document) BEFORE making the deposit to them.

From my point of view everything is safe and the reward for going forward with this process is big. Also, because it’s a SELF-SHOWING process, I find it normal (common sense) that you need to make the deposit first, as a guarantee. I hope you share my opinion because I cannot modify the terms of the transaction in any way, so, PLEASE READ CAREFULLY ALL THE TRANSACTION STEPS.

Let me know if you have the funds available (2000$) so we can move forward. If you do have the funds available and agree with the transaction steps, please email me your full information (full name and address and cell number) so we can get the transaction started.

If you have any further questions regarding the transaction please let me know.

Waiting for your reply!

Thanks

Michael
