Sorry, I’m brain dead. I just realized the “large corporation” must be Lembi!!! congratulation to both parties.
As for Lembi, exchanging a few rental buildings for this site is the smartest move they have done in years.
As for you, I hope you handpicked a few nice addresses ( here ). Switching from Agent to Landlord will be quite a change. Will you recruit great tenants here from now on?

I always wondered how blogs are valued in the private market. How many registered users? How many unique visitors per month, and how many page views per day? Blogs are valued on these metrics. For a while (in 2007) they were valued at around $30/registered active user give or take a few… so at $4mm price tag, that’s like 133k active registered users.

Thanks. I hadn’t seen it, and I really don’t care, as you saw by my reply. That same asshole has been blackballed on tFS.
