I successfully use Craigslist as standalone and to drive business to my homeaway.com listing.Between these my Lake house is as full stays maxed out for days I don't block on my homeaway.com calendar.Refresh the CL ad every week and place additional ads in surrounding markets.

Either your running from pain or running toward pleasure.Currently I am doing both.

The process is a real pain and time consuming, but it is the process. 

To drive or walk through a two block radius would you would see that it is not near as nice as google street view makes it look.

Is it because the loan is really against the plot and block vs physical address? 

A building two blocks from my four plex in Crystal, has a newly painted exterior, decent looking apartments the same size, but with worse looking vinyl windows, no garage, and rents at least $100.00 per unit below mine.  

-I've heard it's block-by-block, and that there are definitely areas you want to stay away from.

A street in my city will be rezoned for commercial use and a major commercial builder has let me know their group is interested in the lots on that block.

Let this be a lesson to you to read everything and get serious when you are looking for a home whether to rent or buyAccount Closed I feel for your pain!!!

As much as it pains me to ruin our credit, something has got to give at this point and it is either this home that we don't even want or our current home in AZ.At this stage I would love to just walk away from the disaster that is that home, but I have seen that in MI the lender can come after you for the lost funds even in the case of a short sale.
