Carnival of Real Estate #99

Ah, the early, wild years of CoRE were interesting. Walking down memory lane, CoRE’s #2 post was by Dan Melson of Searchlight Crusade. And look at these early adopters of CoRE who contributed in August, 2006: Property Grunt, Brownstoner, Pine Needle Lawn, and The Landlord Blog. A big thanks to everyone who has supported the CoRE over the past 2 years and has helped make it what it is today.
