Service as a newspaper carrier under age 18 or as a public official is not a business."

Yesterday in our local newspaper the front cover headline caught my attention "CRISIS IN THE RENTAL MARKET"  the article talks about the local rental vacancy rate being at 2.4% where the national average is 6.8%.  

My wife checks it regularly for us.I really like the Thrifty Nickel and other local newspaper.

When you start to notice "that's a high (or low) price" for a property in that area, that's when you start to know your market.I did this with newspapers, but there's a slick way to do this with today's technology using the realtor.com app.  

Periodically there will be a news paper article about the Landbank.  

Most lien and deed info are on the county's website (Kentucky is the county clerk's office)  or you can find it in the newspaper at certain times in the year.

Hi Michael,http://www.thestate.com/news/local/article13923278...Here is an article from the state newspaper.  

Actually I have read on the BP forums and other areas that the old news paper ads really dont work anymore and are not cost effective, so its interesting to hear your perspective and that they are working for you.
