High Yield Interest Checking in Phoenix

Looking for a good, high-yield checking account in this economy. There's a Phoenix bank called Bank 1440 that is offering a 5.01% checking account (up to $25,000). The requirements seem easy to meet. Yo nave to use use your debit card several times per month and set up an automatic payment/withdrawal. No big deal for someone like me.

What's with 1440 anyway? From what I understand it stands for all the minutes of the day. You can bank 24 hours a day with them. Their on-line banking software is made by Intuit - the company that makes Quicken. It's easy to use and from what I understand exports data to Quicken quite easily.

Craiglist Posting Service

One of the very best methods for renting or selling real estate is through Craiglist. They offer categories for apartments, homes for sale (by broker and owner), commercial real estate and even vacation rentals.

The key, however, is to post to Craigslist every day. There are so many posts that your ad will get very few views after about a day. After the second day rolls around, no human eyes will see your ad. The problem is that most people won't take the few minutes required every day to post an ad. 

One option is to pay a Craigslist Posting Service company to do it for you. Not all companies are created equal. Some specialize in trying to spam Craigslist and engage in a game of cat and mouse. Other companies, like the one above, are not interested in spamming. They follow the rules and won't risk having their accounts blocked from posting ads.

Using a company like this for making your Craigslist postings is an economical way to sell or rent real estate.
