I have added For Rent and For Sale forums to the site. Please list any property you have for sale or for rent! Just start a new discussion in the right category. It's free to list and to read.
If you're looking for a place to rent or to buy, please update your profile with the zip code you're interested in, tick the correct boxes, and fill in a little about what you're looking for. It will show up in your "About" page that people see when they click on your name or icon.
Patrick.net Premium now tries to match up tenants and landlords, and buyers and houses, by placing an ad on the home page that shows your listing exactly to the most relevant audience instead of waiting for them to search and find your listing.
Patrick.net Premium also gives you the ability to delete comments on any discussions that you yourself started. So you can be your own moderator.
Suggestions for attracting for-rent and for-sale listings appreciated! Please comment below.

Can we please name the For Sale forum "Die, fucking, die Realtor scum!" ?

I'm hoping owners will use the for-sale forum themselves and skip the realtors.
So renaming it that way would obscure what it's supposed to be used for.

Patrick,
I think you should try to find a niche where you can make money from it. I don't think the for sale and for rent forums would get much traffic here. People go to Craigslist for that. Also, some of your readers are insensitive in posting their response. This prevents others from posting here.
We found our last 3 tenants from Craigslist. We don't need to listen or deal with the insensitive comments from here. Just post on Craigslist, show and choose our tenants.
Come on. You're smart. I don't think you'd have any issue figuring out a niche. :)

Well part of the idea is that premium members can restrict or delete comments from their own discussions.
