Posting Question for dfw.forsale

I've held off writing a post in dfw.forsale about a house I have for
rent because the charter for that group does not state if that is
appropriate. Don't want to step on any charter rules. Now I assume
that if I had a house for sale it would be appropriate and I've seen
other posts about houses for rent and I've never seen a complaint
about those posts, but it would be good to be clear on the subject...

Sample:

House For Rent in Garland, etc, etc, etc. 

I am not a realtor, I am not a commercial property manager, just an
individual trying to get by.

Opinions please?

Is it your house, and if so, is it legally owned by a company you own?
In other words, is this a case of "I bought a new house and still have
my old one and want to rent it", or is this a case of "I have a few of
these I'd like to advertise"?

I own no company but do own, in my own name, a couple of houses that
come up for rent on a very infrequent basis that I'd like to advertise
when they do. dfw.forsale seems like a place such infrequent events
might be advertised, along with a yard sign (which has my home number
on it) and possibly an ad in the DMN.

Thanks for the input.

As a regular in dfw.forsale since the mid 90's, I'd say post away.
General guidelines that will keep you out of trouble include:

1. No eBay! Don't even mention it, don't post any auctions there.
2. Only post once a week or so. Daily, and especially hourly, posts
    are sure to get a flame war started.
3. Research your asking price thoroughly. Many people in dfw.forsale
   are very good at finding out the lowest market value of anything,
   and don't hesitate to post that info. Asking much above real market
   value is a sure way to get flames.
4. Be polite, and ignore the baiting, you'll be fine. 
5. This is most important: Remember, it's just usenet!

I don't see how posting that would violate the charter. Of course if
it does, someone will tell us and we can let you know.
