How do I market/advertise my wholesale properties...

[Alexandra Beard]

I am new to wholesaling and I want to make sure I am doing things the legal and right way.  I keep seeing videos that advertising seller's homes online (FB, craigslist, etc) is illegal and can get you in trouble if you are not licensed so they recommend reaching out to cash end buyers directly.  Is this true?  I'd prefer to use social media platforms like facebook if that is an option.  If it is an option, what is the RIGHT way to advertise on social media?  

I plan to make a website so I guess that is another way I could possibly do it?

Thank you!
