Check out this spoof video on Nigerian rental scammers. They have me pulling my hair out, so I thought a video spoof would help me relax! hahahaha

I have screen captures of the scammers profiles. ActiveRain might want to look in to this.

I created a blacklist database of known rental scammers if anyone wants to check against it. The blacklist is growing every day.

Over the years I have seen some terrible looking property management website out there. And to be honest many have not changed much since they were created many years ago.

So I thought I would help out and create a free property management website template for people to download off my site and set up themselves.

I know there are other options out there like pointwide.com that offer a full service package for $79 a month, that offers hosting, email and domain registration. My template is just that - a template, it does not come with hosting or email. Basically you download it and set it up yourself.

The best thing about the template is you do not need a database to run it. It displays all your listing on your site by pulling from my free PickRent.com site

New Video I just released on creative ways to break your lease.

I just had another rental scammer from Nigeria try to post a listing on my site with a stolen credit card today. These guys waste my time, so I thought I would blow off some steam and make this short video (and waste some more time!).

Please watch the video here. (Don't worry I am not blending real people)

On my PickRent.com site I created a Rental Scam Detection Tool for renters to use and a video explaining how the rental scams work.

Please watch the video and try the tool and tell me what you think.

Sorry this falls under the shameless self promotional category but a just finished a new national rental site that is free to use called PickRent.com.

I believe the new site is much easier to use than my paid rental site. Please give it a try and let me know if you have any suggestions on how to improve it.

Any feedback good or bad would be appreciated.

Here is a video I did with Marc Cunningham who does Denver Property Management

Watch the Century 21 Video here.

When this TV commercial came out a few years old I remember thinking, "Wow, that is a pretty effective video at showing how it was OK to bully your husband to get what you want".

Now 2 years later after all the failed banks and bailouts, I look at this commercial and say, "This is one of the reasons why the housing bubble got about of hand."

I couldn't help but add some comments to the video.
