I'm trying to extract info from multiple tables, like the one below. I'm trying to extract the address, lot number, guide price, description - should I simply do a regular expression match? There are 232 such tables - presumably do a loop to extract them (and stick them into pandas)?

                            <table cellspacing="0" id="ListViewLots_ClientPropertyControl1_1_FormViewLot_1" style="width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;">
