House listing security

I'm about to run a house listing for students. But I'm more concern with the avoidance of

  1. spam list of apartments on the website.
  2. How to avoid, lessen or detect a scam that can affect my website integrity.
  3. How can I generate income apart from payment for listing.

Your feedback counts.

    It kinda depends how you wish to position it.. if you want it to be premium and do validations you'd need a higher income/listing free or other, than you can at the extreme case validate against ownership records and such.
    On the lower end you'd have the spam and scam there, for reducing spam, it depends on type of spam, for totally automated ones there are technical tricks like honey pots and front to back end identifiers and/or the lame captchas...
    Payment from listing is a good module. Ads need huge volumes to cover expenses. Sometimes affiliate with 3rd party providers can help with income, not sure that for students a moving company is a good example, but any service students would pay for, especially during house moving...

    When I was about to leave high school and applying to college I've had a lot of trouble with moving. We could figure out how to fit all my stuff in our trunk. But thanks to my friend we could transfer it partly. Then my college roomie told me about Long distance moving company from https://crosscountrymoversllc.com/service/long-distance-moving/. Now I'm sad that I didn't know about it early. It would've been so much easier.
