    Zillow v Craigslist on rental ads

    I have been using Craigslist for years to advertise my few rentals. I stumbled across "postlets" which is a Zillow product and tried it. I'm getting about 4:1 responses from Zillow v Craigslist. Incumbents can fall quickly now days...

    Any Owners here do short stay rentals thru Homeaway?

    Hoverboard Visited Upon Me

    Anyone in here tried one of these? My wife got me one and I have about an hour total over 6-7 separate rides; pretty cool feeling; and it didn't catch fire so I must be doing it right... The hardwood floor is the easiest, but rugs get harder. If I take it outside, I think motocross gear might...

Many other cities are getting the same effect, and prices are rising quickly, drawing bidding wars again; e.g., my zipcode has...

    FI? maybe...RE? too late

    Hi Everyone, I have lurked for years here and admired the humor and intensity of discussion about retirement issues, and mostly about life, really. I am 61, the opportunity for re is in my wake, but you clearly are a batch of smart and analytical people, and I plan to benefit from that!! ;D...
