To those who own rental homes in SoWal

[pokey]

I have been reading this forum off and on over the past year and found my last couple of rental homes on this forum. This got me to thinking if I might have looked into other homes that were owned by some that frequent here. If you post here regularly is it possible to have a link to your by owner site or rental company in either your profile or in your signature?

I think I get a good feeling about some of the people here, and I would just assume give them my rental vs. someone I don't "know" if I find their house to my liking.

So maybe this question is for Kurt, but is there a reason owners of rental properties can't show their rental homes here? I know some of the owner will PM when a person is looking for a property, but I think it would be nice to see which home is owned by whom. What got me thinking about this is when Paula and Donna were posting about what they do for their renter and their homes; I was thinking, now that is someone I would like to rent from!!

Now if you tell me there is a list somewhere here that I have missed, I will be embarassed!!

Hi Pokey!

Interesting question. Until a couple of days ago I had my listing information in my signature but I just couldn't shake the feeling that I was being tacky so I took it off. We don't have a virtual tour yet with Kurt (but we plan to once a couple of things get worked out). Those virtual tours are beautiful but don't connect the owner (and the owner's signon) with the house, so really unless you read a LOT it's hard to know who is who.

I agree with your point though -- I think the people who post here are fine, fair, smart people that I would love to rent from. In fact I have sent renters to this site to get more information and they have always been delighted by what they have read. :clap_1:

I was thinking along the same lines as you a while back, so you might want to take a look at my thread:

Yep, like I needed a reminder that Kurt's VTs are the best. We're waiting till the condos going up behind us don't look so scary!

Maybe we can have a sticky thread with a running list of forum members rental houses...

Kurt's list of rentals is great, and I do use it; BUT, I still don't know which home belongs to which poster. I really would like to know who owns what house!

There are no rules. I understand some folks don't want to seem pushy but I don't see enything wrong with it. Especially if they use our services. If they are worried about it then they can put their link in their profile.

But I would expect any rental owner or business owner to put their link in their sig if they want.
