They don't want to do the work required to have prospects knocking on your door.If you'd like I can give you a copy of one of the ads I use (also on Craigslist) to advertise my apartment... although it is a nice apartment, people don't think about some of the things that I know exist in the neighborhood when perusing CList unless you tell them.What makes your place better, different?

We called the town office and the seller paid $36 for it 8 years ago in a desperate estate deal (owner died unexpectadly, left wife with 18 properties she dumped in a hurry) The neighborhood is quaint, near a public school, decent.In order to pad the bank account for our down payment/closing, I decided to borrow $3500 from a low interest credit card.

By a crappy home in the best neighborhood.

Being a bit more experienced than some the BP is interesting to me because it highlights different markets and different strategies compared what I might hear about on other sites.For what ever reason specific communities form and people have certain styles or focus on certain markets.

Is that typical for the neighborhood?
