marketing costs deduction?

[Mike Landry]

Tax time! i have expenses for marketing with yellow letters and foreclosure subscriptions. I did not wholesale a property but I did buy one from my marketing efforts. Where and how should I deduct these costs. Do they go towards my basis for the property bought? I own two rentals if that matters. Are these acquisition costs even deductible here or only if i am operating a wholesale business? 

Thanks for any insight. And yes Im thinking I'm going to use a CPA this year but I'll still figure my own taxes in turbotax for comparison.
