    You might get into trouble if you scrape existing classifieds sites. Maybe make it a metasearch site with frames?

    appreciate the feedback. actually, i wasn't thinking of scraping and yea, i can get in trouble for that. i want to make this a legit site.

    do you like the domain name?

    i'm looking to build it up over time and make money off google adsense for apartment hunting, roommate search's, affiliate marketing etc...

    i know in real estate there's ihomefinder and mls that you can get a database for a certain region...i'm wondering if anyone knows if there's a way to get that for available rooms for rent or apartments within a certain region.
