OOdle Rental Feeds Up and Running

Since we stopped working with a third party to provide our feeds we have been implementing these ourselves. On each site/marketing location we have a feed we will have three core feeds. Rental, Rent to Own, and Owner Financing.

Our latest feed to go live is our RENT OODLE.com Feed. You can view this feed at
OODLE Feed.

OODLE is a great service, and they have many places they feed to as well, such as Walmart.com. OODLE is actually the back end technology for the Walmart Classifieds.

We plan to launch the Rent to Own and Owner Financing Feeds later this week.

It should be noted for currently active properties you wont see this feed listed on your Property Marketing View but don't worry your property will be included in the feed. Any property activated after October 7th, 2008 will be able to see this feed on the property marketing view page.

Also we are not able to provide you a link directly to your property on the feed, we are only able to provide you a link to the overall feed.

Hotpads.com Feed Up and Running

Our hotpads.com property feed is up and running. We were relying on a third party to feed our listings and it wasn't quite working the way we wanted. So effective tonight your property will be fed along one of three property feeds. You will be able to view a link on your property in the control panel under the link titled 'view marketing'

Rent
Just straight rental feed. If your property is listed as just a rental property it will be included in this feed.

Rent to Own
Rent to own/Lease Option feed. This feed is for properties that are listed as rent to own. If your property is listed as a rental and a rent to own then your property will be included on this feed and not included on the rental feed.

For Sale/Owner Financing
For Sale Feed. Your owner financed listed properties will be on this feed.

So if you list a property for rent, rent to own, and owner financing your property will be included on two feeds. The Rent/Rent to Own feed is essentially the same except the rent to own feed contains more points about rent to own and leads the potential resident to these domains.

One more point is our feeds run in the early morning hours, so if you enter a prooperty today you should be able to view your property via the marketing page the following day.

This is the first of many feeds that we are now handling ourselves. We should have the bulk of all our feeds completed here in the next three weeks.
