Denver is actually doing a decent job of advertising their Airbnb laws. 

When I see a property starting to underperform, as the manager I have to run the data to figure out why and then make adjustments whether is lack of amenities, need updated photos, replace a couple pieces of dated furniture or increase my focus on advertising that property specifically.

With this you can target areas and cut out the middleman.

I have targeted absentee owners with high equity, homes owned longer that 4 years and etc. 

I hear that the same can be said for phone calls - and after a brief surge in text response that too is starting to be ignored.So, while a continuous campaign funded at a fairly large level (top wholesalers spend $15,000 + monthly on marketing), the trend is that people DON’T want their personal space and sanctums violated by advertising.  

My target is a first time buyer and I want to pass the savings on to them.  

While there are several reasons why you can be targeted for an IRS audit (including running for an office, it seems), the most common reason is the IRS computer finding enough "red flags" in your numbers. 

I did not want to chime in, but @Shawn Regnier targeted me specifically and even reached out offline, so I guess I have to. :)First, I wrote this loooong post on tax strategies and on abusing them.

Restricting certain elements you can advertise may not be good, but it is certainly not evil.Is the settlement good for sellers?

A fairly reliable wholesaler who buys across the country, and spends $100,000 a month on advertising, also trains people to be wholesalers.
