This declaration is unfortunate as it's negatively impacting our rental/tourism  outlook for the season. 

I usually start advertising for tenants well before we close on our loan. 

Yeah most of the rentals are advertised by property managers especially in big cities.

It's advertised on all of the same sites.

My strategy would be to buy the properties, advertise them as is and sale them.

You can mention the open house, along with your minimum requirements in your online advertisement.

Power of Sale Notice Requirements: Prior to initiating a foreclosure the notice of foreclosure sale must be advertised at least one per day for three (3) days or once per week for two (2) two weeks in a newspaper of general circulation in the county in which the property is located.

That does not include debt service, but does include taxes, insurance, advertising, lost rent to to vacancy or non-payment, legal expenses, accounting expenses, capital expenses (roofs, furnaces, etc), and property management.   

I've done a lot of research on biggerpockets, YouTube and other sources for real estate information about advertising yourself, such as: direct mail, Facebook ads, google ads, newspaper ads, Zillow/realtor.com ads, word-to-mouth.

Desmond Alexander I haven't heard of FHA zero down but it sounds like some are advertising similar things in CA. http://www.desertsun.com/story/money/real-estate/2017/09/08/get-house-no-down-payment-one-desert-lender-says-its-possible/594674001/Basically they are combining FHA with those local downpayment assistance grants .I think those grants are usually for first time home buyers.Personally I don't know if people have zero down and no money getting into a house is a good idea .
