PmDave: What Is a Good Credit Score for Renting?
Andy Jolls: For homes the best crdit score you need these days is 760 and just like in the fashion industry where red is the new black 760 is the new 720.It used to be 720 was a really great score so now 760 is really the score you need.

I ran across an interesting apartment site (and blog) the other day. I emailed back and forth with Arpit Jain and he explains the site with the following:
To help the users searching for rental apartments in a location, we are developing an apartment search engine that can automatically crawl thousands of apartment listings from all over the Web. Just like what Trulia does for real-estate or Google does for web pages, we are doing it for apartment rentals. You can visit the site at: apartments.cazoodle.com.
Seems like this model is taking off.
I think they need to fix the US map on the home page however, I wanted to use it as navagation not voting.

I am offering free neighborhood videos that are branded to your property management or real estate agent web site.
Here is an example of first video I did for Superior Colorado. The best way to describe what a “neighborhood video” is is to watch one.
I am only offering this in the Denver / Boulder / Breckenridge metro areas right now.
To get more info and sign up for one please visit my neighborhood videos page.

I just got off the phone with Aaron Hassen of RentBlurb.com. He is looking for a buyer of his regional rental site for the Orlando area which ranks pretty well on Google.
His site is done in PHP.
If you know anyone that is interested, have them contact Aaron on his contact form.
It is a little sad to see a regional site looking to sell.
Update: I just got this from Aaron:
As you are aware, your blog is highly influential and monitored by major players in our industry. With your help we have now received a number of bids to purchase our site. I’m writing today to inform you and your audience that this Friday, August 29th will be the last day we will be accepting bids for the purchase of RentBlurb.com. After Friday we will begin the process of selecting a buyer.
I enjoy taking a break from my day to write about what I see happening in the online rental ad industry.
