What happens if I see the property and realize that the repair costs are more than advertized and the deal doesn't make sense and I want out.

@Chris Martin - I came across the idea of “accelerated banking” and "first position heloc" from some lame YouTube advert. 

That said, I use a professional PM, so instead of advert date, I use our property management contract date for my in-service date, with the contract as proof should I ever face an audit. 

We saw an advert for decent priced homes by a developer for sale in the Poconos and decided to take a road-trip to inquire.

We've found that some yield no interest in our area, for example we're dropping Furnished Finder for our next advert round.Best wishes to you and again, we highly recommend Al Williamson's course--it got us to our destination faster, with more confidence and with a community of peers and it was, in our view, it was well-worth the cost. 

In many areas it is illegal to advertize that units are available when they are not. 

Where you advertize can influence who you get as a tenant, you can say it has easy access to highways and other things that suggest it is good for commuters (if that is who you want).

As they advertize, it's for short and long term coliving, and there doesn't seem to be anything specific to long term besides they stay a longer time (similar to Airbnb 4wk+ stays). 

Your advert should have an available from date.

If you want to tighten up your process, use a service to advertise (Postlets/Craigslist)..or your local adverts...and MySmartMove is great...free for you..tenant pays the application fee.and no...a credit score is not a perfect indicator of tenant quality, but a criminal and eviction report is a must!
