The advertising copy you attached to your email came out perfectly and will be very helpful.

That or just buy in Lawrence where more people want to be.If you look on available Airbnb's for Topeka there's a gal named Elizabeth Taylor (yes that's her name) - her's are the ones near Huntoon and Filmore and a guy named Larry - cant remember his last name but his wife advertises a ton of them on there - Larry and Elizabeth would be good folks to connect with. 

Maybe they start with a lower advertised bid to generate interest? 

This one was on the 4000 block of N.18th street in philadelphia (though I believe ABC Capital also advertise through Maverick Real estate group for Baltimore also).

Would you feel comfortable working with an agent to advertise the space?

Regardless ask about the cost to start- do you need to pay REBNY dues, order business cards, pay for advertising?  

Lastly, when it comes to direct mail,  if I'm a licensed agent and I'm sending out a targeted DM campaign to buy distressed properties (not list them), would I need to include my brokerage logo & info on my advertising? 

When advertising and showing these units I always tell prospective tenants that parking is on street. 

Direct expenses can be deducted in full (such as advertising and tenant screening), while indirect expenses have to be split proportionally between personal and business use (such as utilities, insurance, etc.). 

You are then limiting your reach and the actually board member, even if the president, is assumed to be operating in good faith therefore it won't stick.
