Red flags include: no physical inspection offered, price too good to be true, agent cannot produce ownership documents, payment via personal account only, no online trail, pressure to pay immediately, and agent avoids video calls. All HOSTELPULSE properties are physically inspected by our verified agent network, and every payment goes through secure escrow released only after you confirm your move-in via QR scan.
