If you have a family member with whom you want to invest then syndication isn't needed, since you already have a pre existing relationship with that person and aren't advertising a security, thus Reg D doesn't come into play.

Zillow, craigslist and a yard sign are what I do for advertising.

We did that and we had 4 bookings in the first 24 hours of advertising the unit.

With that said, I somehow (through dogged persistence and a very large advertising budget) do succeed in finding about five good deals per year.

I'm not a YouTube expert but am considering making for advertising / informational videos.

I occupy 1 unit and advertised the other 2 for rent with a "no pet" policy.

I am still shocked a property management company which advertises themselves as one of the largest in the state feels they can simply take the deposits.

You can advertise (obviously not here) if you are doing a 506 (C) offering and you are only accepting accredited investors otherwise it's considered a general solicitation. 

Brian, I have a question for you where do you advertise you property?

If good renters are available, that is a plus, as if I advertise a renter, I want to be able to find a good tenant within a reasonable amount of time.
