Year in Advance Rent...Thoughts?

[Eric S.]

I have a property that is coming available. One of the potential renters is offering to pay the whole year's rent in advance in addition to the security deposit. Does anyone see any issues in doing this?  The property is a higher end rental that is very desirable and the potential renter works for one of the very large corporations in the area.  My research on the guy seems to bode well for him being a good renter for a year long lease.
