Several months ago I clued you all in on problems I was having with posting pictures of some of the units due to copyright concerns.

This is an update on some changes that will occur to the posts on the site. I’m getting some grief from the Northern Illinois MLS for posting information from their listings. I don’t want to run afoul of any copyright laws (as we’ve discussed on the site in the past) so for the near-term there […]
