Guidelines for Consumer Focused Carnival of Real Estate

Searchlight Crusade is the home of the Consumer Focused Carnival of Real Estate.

The Consumer Focused Carnival of Real Estate is intended to showcase the very best articles in real estate from a consumer point of view.

The Consumer Focused Carnival of Real Estate is currently running every two weeks, and volunteer hosts are being solicited. If we get the quality and quantity of articles to justify raising the frequency, it may be done in the future.

There is a limit of one article per website or author per carnival. In the event of multiple submissions, that carnival's host will choose one, and only one. This is supposed to be your best work of the previous two weeks. Exceptions may be considered for particularly high quality work written by two different authors at the same website, but never the same author writing at different websites.

Articles should be written from a consumer-centric point of view: How does this benefit the consumer, how does this hurt the consumer, how does the consumer do this, etcetera. They should not be insider talk about the business of real estate.

The subject matter is real estate. Buying, selling, loans, affording it, planning it, what does and does not make a good investment, etcetera. Articles that have nothing to do with real estate will be rejected.

Submissions that make material factual errors will likely be rejected. If you want to deliberately question orthodox thoughts on one point or another, such articles are welcome, but don't just assume you're correct and orthodox thought is wrong. Furnish some evidence as to why this is so. If you don't take tackle the issue head-on, your article may be presumed to have been written in ignorance of it, which is hardly a recommendation
