Im a newbie investor who just started posting bandit signs and advertising on craigslist.

Cheap advertising.

I am currently just now starting to grow my company and business to such a level where I can teach others and market/advertise/brand my company and generate my own leads as well.

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

I have seen, personally, some national marketing companies calling themselves Turnkey (they don't own the props themselves, they just advertise props owned by other companies around the country, red flag!)

Real estate broker'', hereinafter referred to as broker, any person who for another person and for a fee, commission or other valuable consideration, or with the intention or in the expectation or upon the promise of receiving or collecting a fee, commission or other valuable consideration, does any of the following: sells, exchanges, purchases, rents or leases, or negotiates, or offers, attempts or agrees to negotiate the sale, exchange, purchase, rental or leasing of any real estate, or lists or offers, attempts or agrees to list any real estate, or buys or offers to buy, sells or offers to sell or otherwise deals in options on real estate, or advertises or holds himself out as engaged in the business of selling, exchanging, purchasing, renting or leasing real estate, or assists or directs in the procuring of prospects or the negotiation or completion of any agreement or transaction which results or is intended to result in the sale, exchange, purchase, leasing or renting of any real estate.

There are also some investor specific websites like Bigger Pockets where you could post advertisements for the contract for the property.

You cannot advertise properties you do not own unless you are an agent.

So, my question to Nick, having been in this arena recently, why aren't these gurus nailed for their advertising ploys of misinformation like the other instructor advocating illegal conduct?

How investments are advertised or marketed has a direct affect on the perception of whether the investment is a security or not.
