Overall, I feel like if it's being advertised by BP, it should be somewhat safe, but I also realize I shouldn't believe all ads.

Then you get to what is advertising a deal versus advertising a company.  

Looking for people's advice on whether or not to pursue small claims court lawsuit for all my costs (rent, advertising, damages, legal minus deposits).

My sellers that I have spoken with regarding this have opted to continue to advertise a BAC.

We don’t advertise and we don’t work with brokers.

It is the GAL's job to do what those unknown people would have done, if they could.The auction is public, and advertised in the paper just like bank foreclosure auctions.

The next would be direct marketing, mailers, paid advertising, Zillow leads.

For those familiar with this market; what is bringing the guests (tourism, professional, mix of both)? 

When the pandemic hit and the visiting scholars had to back out of their leases, I slashed the rents and advertised on Furnished Finder but my units are not particularly conveniently located near hospitals and the area hotels were offering to house visiting nurses for tax write offs.

Michael, I know numbers are always estimates but was their decent cash flow like they advertise?
