Don't want to do more paperwork than is necessary but this sounds like and added layer of protection.

Any recommendations for something to consider adding or removing?

I also add keywords to the bottom of the ad because most people use the search function when looking on craigslist.

My question is this, has anyone tried newspaper ads?

Since I am assuming you are only getting the $2,500 rents from the 2 higher priced units that leaves you negative $644/month.However if you are renting right now and are paying more than that it could still be a net gain to you monthly while getting some added tax deductions and building equity in a property.

That's why I added "Also, if you're actively licensed and practicing in any way, shape, or form, you're acting as a real estate agent."

I have bought properties sub2, placed the property in a land trust, transferred beneficial interest, added myself as additionally insured, got a LPOA from seller, had seller declare he knows about DOS and its risks, etc.Never had the DOS enacted.

It's a great idea to post an "test" ad for a property in the test market: give real stats, expected price to the buyer etc.

VRBO's policy is that every person who advertises a property for rent on their site (as well as on Homeaway.com) should perform their due diligence to make sure they are complying to all local, city & state regulations as far as short-term rentals go and taxes.VRBO is an advertisement site and just like you don't have to prove you are authorized to sell or rent anything in a classified ad, the same is true on VRBO.

l purchased an Absentee Owners List (my first) with the added criteria of years in house, equity, sq ft etc.
