6.How do you advertise your vacant units?

We are both in our 30s and work in digital media advertising in NYC and really want another means of income so we don't have to continue with our crazy 40+ hr weeks.  

If your agent spends money out of pocket to "advertise" your listing get a new agent.

Ferrari makes a product, not an educational service.A better analogy would be if Ferrari advertised that anyone who bought a car would learn to become a successful race car driver.

I told my bank that I was a victim of false advertising and that the NOR (notice of rescission) was a month before the seminar even took place.

I think you might drown.If your scheduled rent is $2025, you need a vacancy allowance (8 - 10% is a good range unless you know the area well and know the prevailing rate).This brings you down to $1823/month effective revenue.Then you need your operating expenses: maintenance (10%), landscaping, utilities (electricity and gas) for common areas (i.e. laundry), property management, administration, advertising, pest control, etc.    

We are actually not a GC for hire and do not advertise, just for our own flips.

This is standard practice for the funding platforms that are doing the right way IMO.  506(b) can be used by the portals, but many that are using this exemption are arguably advertising and should be using heightened screening procedures.  

Having been interviewed and quoted as saying things I never said...having been at events reported and found the report was so different from what I witnessed, I wondered if I had some double I of whom I was unaware;  I wondered if I was really at the event at all.I've seen the "man behind the curtain".News is in the business of garnering viewership/readership to sell advertising. 

And had the situation not been so urgent I would not have incurred agent commission fees (I would have just advertised online like I usually do).Needless to say, the smart thing would have been to chart all of this out in an ancillary agreement.
