I love older properties as in my area they often have the following:8" or bigger baseboards with fancy trim on topCrown molding4" door / window trim with moldingstained glass windowstall ceilingsantique fixtures that can be restored clawfoot tubsvintage sinksOf course, older homes also have their issues including:multiple layers of poorly applied paintwater damaged plastercracked plasterdamaged ceilingsun balanced windowsmissing storm windowsfoundation needs repointingfloors need refinished / replacedfloor plans are not always ideal, and have sometimes been changed from their original designAll that said, when an older home is revitalized IMO it is more desirable to a renter than a sterile apartment without the rich finishing despite when it was built.

I also see some short,basic, non-HTML adds in the "Real Estate Wanted" sectionI was wondering if anyone gets away with putting their fancy HTML ads in any of the other sections (real estate for sale, FSBO, real estate wanted, etc)I was thinking I'd put smaller ads in the other sections with my cell phone #, and my HTML squeeze page links in the services section to comply with the T&C but I'll do whatever I can get away with.Some people are spamming 3 different versions of the same ad on the same day so they seem to be getting away with it.Thanks!

Inflating a sales price and doing fancy things with financing is what gives real estate investors a bad name and causes state legislatures to pass nutty laws to curb abusive practices.

They have keynesian economists (in white lab coats) with fancy equations and computer algorithms.

I don't need a big mansion, the newest imported luxury car, or a fancy vacation home.
