An auctioneer in my area advertises "absolute above $X,XXX.XX" This tends to be a pretty good compromise for the seller and attracts me as a buyer if the reserve is know and low enough for me.

When we had apartments, we passed out a calendar with our advertising on it and the tenants thought that was such a big deal.

These are the sites I've used for research, certainly not advertising for any of them, but apologies up front if I have broken any of the rules:http://www.ehow.com/how_7444755_file-dba-tennessee.htmlhttp://www.volunteerstartup.com/incorporate-tennesseehttp://www.tn.gov/sos/forms/ss-4402.pdfhttp://www.legalzoom.com/dba-state-requirements/tennessee-dba.htmlBasically, it looks would use my name and a DBA under a sole proprietorship as "Matt's Real Estate" or something, pay the $20, and be required to renew every five years.But it looks like I would have unlimited liability, and I don't what the difference in insurance rates would be relative to the LLC Excise Tax.And based on this structure, if I ever did make income, I assume that I would owe that income to my state of residency, PA.

I make post to my Facebook real estate groups, I post on Craigslist and backpages and linkedin advertising for buyers and I don't get nearly the response I think I should be getting.

It would certainly appear that the multi-entity was used to circumvent the law...they don't like that...This also brings up another issue that in many states, any entity that sells, rents, advertises, etc.

Jon,Its a good rule and you wont have to worry about me advertising.

Here in MInneaplis the newspaper is a joke - hardly any advertising going on there for rent or sale.

I just advertised my first rental.

Send all lease option related keywords and keyword phrases to that page, not the homepage....granted that got off topic a bit, but it will help your advertising budget keeping everything relevant.You dont want to send your paid for traffic to your homepage and hope they can navigate it to where they need to be.

It appears to be a great way to advertise your property for free!
