Take Derek of LA Direct, a first class business man who lets me know if there are problems via phone and e-mail, try getting this sort of communication from a loan model. You would only find out they had problems when they don't show for the shoot.

Its worth paying $800- $1000 for a model you know will show up rather than lose location fees, stud fees, makeup etc.
Now when it comes to the shady boyfriends / managers that rent their girlfriend out for sex and pocket all the money, sure im all for riding the industry of those creeps.

We pay models on average $800.00 for a scene but that includes still image sets as we hate frame captures. From the time the model arrives to when she leaves its about 3 hours. We pay more for some and less for others depending on how much exposure they have had...
