Vanilla Ice launches real estate advice website

Vanilla Ice has launched a new website which offers advice on buying or selling properties.

The rapper - real name Robert Van Winkle - became successful in real estate during the early 1990s, and he is now hoping to offer his expertise for those looking to enter the property market with new website VanillaIceRealEstate.com.

"When 'Ice Ice Baby' was selling a million records a day, I bought several properties; a home next to Michael J. Fox in L.A., a palace in Miami, and a mountain cabin in Utah," he told AllHipHop.com.

"Then, a few years later, I took a break from touring, saw that my properties had cobwebs, so I sold them, and, to my surprise, I made a huge profit!"

Vanilla Ice is also launching a DIY Network show titled The Vanilla Ice Project, which will see him renovate rooms of foreclosed homes in each episode and show viewers how to build their "dream" houses.

He added: "I've been flooded with requests from viewers of my show to teach them how to succeed at real estate."

Vanilla Ice has also reportedly been approached to appear in Adam Sandler's upcoming comedy I Hate You Dad.
