How do you prevent scams, like a "landlord" that sells part of a unbuilded place as if it were a house, or a house that is infested with termites, or has a lot of water in the basement, or any other problem that is difficult to notice remotely?

We do our own due diligence checks for each property we list on Proptee. All listings need to have a recent valuation done by an independent valuator and an inventory check.

If the landlord sells 100% of the property on Proptee, then we would manage the property, so it's in our interest not to accept bad properties.

If the landlord sells less than 100% then they will continue managing the property themselves.

Either way, both us and the landlord are aligned with the investors.
