In my post "Is Rent-To-Own a good idea?" I mentioned some terms that are red flags for a rip-off. Here is a collection of them. Use of these terms does not necessarily signify a bad deal, but it is a sign for the buyer to be especially aware. Look out for any "deal" that mentions the following:
- Buy now, pay later
- No money down
- Insider secrets
- "They" don't want you to know
- You'd be crazy not to
- Extended warranty
- Act fast
- Important information — do no discard
