Gurus advertising on YouTube, internet, and everywhere make it seem so easy.  

I know they made the switch from paid advertising in 2016 to Best Match.

I would also use the garage personally for my storage unit and save myself $300 monthly that I am paying for a storage unit for my inventory for my other on line selling business.Am I crazy......or do I just start and advertise and hope I get renters and that it works?

So, why is McDonalds still spending billions on advertising?

There are double digit net caps to be had, Buy refi and do again, rinse and repeat 

Specifically I want to finally cross the double digit count in my portfolio next year.  

Do you still have the pictures you used to advertise to current tenants?

—In all criminal cases, contempt cases, and other cases filed pursuant to this chapter, if a party has sold, leased, or let real estate, the title to which was not in the party when it was offered for sale, lease, or letting, or such party has maintained an office bearing signs that real estate is for sale, lease, or rental thereat, or has advertised real estate for sale, lease, or rental, generally, or describing property, the title to which was not in such party at the time, it shall be a presumption that such party was acting or attempting to act as a real estate broker, and the burden of proof shall be upon him or her to show that he or she was not acting or attempting to act as a broker or sales associate.

One would think that advertising, purchasing landlord insurance, and renting the place out might be enough to signal intent.

That is, of course, if you didn't advertise the rental as having a fireplace!
