The forums are not for advertising yourself or marketing, that is against the terms.

.: The company who advertised at our REIA was Beacon Recovery Systems in St.

A story that does not clearly lay out the language of the contract, the dispute and both parties position (which is rarely if ever done) is only positioning for public support for one side to sell clicks or advertising.

I think there may be some players in the space advertising 80% LTV on cash-outs but would proceed with caution if you find someone offering it.

And are you simply advertising for rent?

I have been in discussions with someone that specializes in SEO and lead generation for real estate investors, vetted him through references, and he seems to be as advertised.

I saw it being advertised for FC in August. 

When done right, Facebook can go neck and neck with any other lead-gen method out there.If you have the ability or the budget, building out a proper SEO strategy should be a top priority.Google PPC is highly effective but the truth is most investors without a hefty advertising budget can’t or shouldn’t spend their dollars there.What are you doing right now to generate leads?  

Social Media and Digital Marketing: Invest in virtual tours, high-quality listings, and digital advertising to reach a wider audience.

All an agent should do for you is list the property to generate showings => to generate applications, that YOU then screen.Now, they may actually be asking you want screening criteria you want them to advertise, which is fine.Can't answer your question though, without knowing if this is a Class A, B, C or D property - as they will all have different criteria.Here's a sample of some of what we use in our Metro Detroit market:Class A Properties:Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+ (roughly 5% probability of default), zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680 (around 10% probability of default), some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, but 15-20% should be used to also cover tenant nonpayment, eviction costs & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores of 560-620 (approaching 22% probability of default), many blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 2 years.
