    He just said he wanted someone "religious" but not of a specific religion... so... if I worship, oh, someone like Oprah, and I am of the SaTaNiC HaRpO religion... I wonder if I qualify? :p

    This poll requires a third option: an incompetent scam artist

    Another vote for scam.

    Never have I ever heard of paying an application fee BEFORE getting the application itself.

    I haven't heard of paying an application fee before filling out an application. But my brothers did go to look at a legitimate property and when they went to apply it had just been taken. The real estate office said they could apply "in general" and they would contact them if there was a house available that met their needs. I dissuaded them from submitting the application and fee.

    Sounds legit to me. You're missing out on a great property.
