Here in California you have a better chance of finding a mythical pink unicorn.

Every time I play with snakes....Thank you for bringing to light the pain (not to mention the thousands and thousands of fees) to optimize ones ROI through equity harvesting, equity-stripping, leveraging your assets or whatever the latest 'sophisticated' way is to grow.  

It's against Craigslist's rules to harvest e-mail addresses on their site.

A 1960's pink bathroom may be old , but if everything is in good shape its a non issue . 

My rentals provide me the long stability as a backup if I had to I could live in one of them.... they also give me some income to offset the high rents in my area and tax deductions I'd see from owning a primary.Maybe once I'm retired and empty nester I'd buy as at that point stability could help.... or maybe it gives me the freedom to move around again.My two best days as a homeowner were the day I bought my house (the American Dream) and the day I sold my house (harvesting my equity and having a major responsibility lifted off my shoulders).

Other friends are tired of craigslist - they only get junk responses from email harvesters

Well, they're illegal in my area, although I think a neon hot pink sign would be an eyecatcher.

If it came down to emotions over numbers my daughter would be my designer and all my hones would be pretty pink with sparkles....

It wasn't pink or blue or other 70's colors, but it didn't really yell "I'm a modern bathroom!"

Different people calling each time, sending nasty letters in pink.
