On posting our idea / problem we are looking to solve, I wanted to make sure I wasn't crossing the 'solicitation' or promotion line of the forums vs the marketplace. 

I think real estate has far more tangible benefits and can produce better wealth and income than stocks for most investors.

Also, they were referred by Maverick Investor Group, and they have also done absolutely nothing to hold ABC accountable - and have continued to promote them despite my best efforts to recruit their help.

If you check out my post about probate lists, it was pretty much reposting that with an update on results over the course of the last year and growing to 25+ deals/month with the information given in the post.It had very little to do with promoting my products, and a lot to do with a valuable topic.

I look at website as a bonus that you build over time.One other thing I've had success with is creating and promoting a Facebook page for your property. 

I would be very wary of anything they are promoting.

You are talking about low rates, but those are usually promotional deals and not fixed.

I have heard that those investments provide sizable tax deductions (e.g. 70-100% of the intangible drilling costs are deductible in year 1, and all tangible drilling costs are deductible over a 7 year depreciation schedule). 

Has he gotten a promotion?   

To consider an allocation to deduct the old roof you would have to do some research under the Tangible Property Regulations that would allow you to break out the remaining life from that portion of the building.
