I recommend you include some of your key qualification criteria in the advertisement.

Great name ( my son is Owen as well)My goal with the partnership is to refi out of hard money deals hat I acquire from my marketing campaigns.

Others opted not to.No, there is nothing wrong with paid advertising.

Especially so in Texas because the rules for on-market advertising by agents is one of the most stringent in the country. 

We don't allow any "deal-making" in the forums, which includes advertising your services or properties, looking for partners, etc.

We respond to inquiries, but if someone did the things you suggested to try to track me down instead of following the advertised protocol I would disqualify you as crazy or a potential stalker or just high needs or high maintenance. 

Lenders are not recommended on BP lenders pay to advertise..

It’s not advertised, then I deny someone cause I don’t like them for some reason etc.  

It's technically avoidant of advertising or self-promotion, but it always is blatant self-promotion opportunity.

This sounds like an arbitrage outreach campaign.
