Memphis Zillow is a mess!

[Jackson Long]

Hey folks, I know there is a pretty aggressive turnkey and professional management presence in Memphis.  I am browsing Zillow in my hotel room and it is the most confused and misleading set of house ads I've ever seen on that site!  Is this a product of people trying to be creative in using it?  Example- I just found a house for sale where the text says "GREAT COMFORTABLE HOME FOR YOUR FAMILY"  And in the middle of the address it says "FOR RENT ONLY"

I mean no disrespect to people in those fields- its just the only thing I could think of...

This is happening in over abundance here in Denver, Colorado. I can tell because they say, "123 Main St #0" on every address and once you click it, "For rent only" is in the description. Another one going around Craigslist everywhere is the "Rent To Own". No offense to any gurus out there, one in particular, but this Lease Option and Subject To stuff is getting out of hand. Ghost ads are terrible ways to market like that. What are they trying to accomplish? A tenant/buyer list?

It reminds me how effective yard signs use to be in Denver. Then that company NR are the initials) came into town and plastered so many "Wholesale Deals" signs everywhere it ruined marketing with signs here.
