@Brandon ClarkI am very sympathetic to CA investors wanting to invest in lower cost markets... but just to be very direct with you: -OOS is a LOT more challenging than advertised; and-50K is not a lot to start with.I genuinely think you will be more successful in a higher cost market that you can spend time in, rather than a random ,"lower cost" market thousands of miles away where you find something that looks nice on Zillow, spend your entire $50K on it... and then it needs a big rehab you weren't aware of, and you're negative $27K in year 1. 

Currently I found this advertised price from a Bay Area booklet I got in the mail

Upon personal inspection, I often find terrible workmanship.For example, I saw a "newly renovated" property advertising it had central air.

Some examples of these techniques include sending out targeted mailers or running internet advertisements.

From looking at the website’s advertised interest rate (which was 2.75%) my impression was they were just looking at the date the property was purchased and estimating a mortgage payment based on the market rate at that time, 2.87% per Fannie Mae. 

We have the opportunity to advertise on one but have no idea on a fair price.

In all reality since you continued to advertise the property and bookings came through, you need to honor those bookings.

What is best way to advertise short term rentals?

There are NO national HML/PML  not one company funds in all 50 states many will do the majority but NONE of them are nationwide even though many advertise that but its a little puffery by some of the legit ones .. but fake ones keep in mind NO one funds in all states.
