There has been a great shift away from YP advertising as owners are moving more towards SEO programs and the Internet for advertising.

@Kevin D.I am sympathetic to CA investors wanting to invest in lower cost markets... but OOS is a LOT more challenging than advertised. 

You should advertise that all existing ghosts, if any, were held over from the previous place. 

We advertise this program on all of our listings and work closely with the city of st pete.  

Go to Etsy and search for "rental property tracker," and you will find hundreds of nice spreadsheets to track 10-20 rentals, usually for under $10.Software has extremely helpful features like online payments, marketing syndication (click a button, and your property is advertised on multiple sites), electronic document review/signing, maintenance tracking, and owner reports.

The JOBS act allowed people to advertise (it was a federal crime before).  

I mean once you talk to them, it's pretty easy to spot if they know what they are talking about.I've work on STRs before and to be honest, it is not the most fun aspect of accounting because the volume of allocating income from all sources (airbnb, vrbo, stripe, direct booking, and so on) to a bunch of random expenses (cleaning, supplies, repairs, advertising, commissions, and all typical real estate expenses).I had to strictly rely on the client's input on what the expenses belong to which property or even units, if the paperwork doesn't say.
