Granite slabs would have been the last thing I'd think of, I'd think logistics would be a real issue.I can see and know we could get signs, banners, home welcome gifts, anything printed, embossed, hats, work and casual clothing, gadgets for advertising such as cards, pens, pen-pencil sets, calculators, watches, phones, really any small item for home, auto or business and promotional novelties.

I think anyone who advertises or responds to as is not truly a private lender.

Once I started posting in my advertisements that tenants must pass a criminal background screening, the quantity of applicants went down but the quality went up.

I don't really like to advertise that the property is vacant (or about to be).

@J Scott regarding the basement level, what type of soil do you have, what's the water table like, and what will it take to retain soil provide drainage, etc. it when you dig it out?

I am assuming you know about this property because the wholesaler has advertised it somehow.

Be sure to only use the "MarketPlace" forum for advertising, seeking deals, promoting what you have or need, and any other kind of solicitation.

We see a continual pattern of huge amounts trust deed investment dollars chasing a smaller number of loans.Rates in the single digits, costs near as low as what banks charged, and longer term loans.

During my most recent search I came across this, "Eliminating the Prohibition Against General Solicitation and General Advertising in Rule 506 and Rule 144A Offerings" I found it here, the link is work and family safe. http://www.sec.gov/info/smallbus/sbpend.shtmlWould this loosen the reins quite a bit on soliciting investors?
