I understand that those who can spend 10-20k per month on advertising have to buy at those % to make sense.  

I'll be honest, since I was focusing on the fixer upper, I did not put much effort into getting the others rented.But the past couple of weeks I've really started advertising and following up with inquiries. 

I was looking at some banks tonight to open an new business checking account, and found one bank advertising the ability to incorporate & link your viewpost.com to your bank account. 

Free Advertising?

Does anyone know how I can advertise other than on Craigslist?  

@Darren Budahn  of course I am the exception.. and to be fair I will only do this with a very hand picked group of folks like I have been doing for years.. this is the first time I have advertised for it ever.. however I have capacity to expand so I thought I would offer it on BP.my comments were general in nature.. there are always going to be private folks and exceptions..

After an initial conversation, if the person is interested, I email copies of the application and acceptance criteria.To avoid vacancy and attract people who plan ahead, I always advertise well before the current tenants are moving out -- up to 60 days ahead.

I have a house in Eastlake and tried advertising on Craigslist but have not had a good response.

Ok so I am new to REI but have had a couple things close..all with the help of a JV partner who is a broker/investor them self..I have a website which I advertise my business on craigslist and other places which got me 1 that we wholesaled..and found a vacant property we tracked down the owners daughter to and that one wholesaled and then had a person who sells me leads sell us a probate one and that got wholesaled...my partner does all the work as in paper and title/contract/closing ..all of it..im basically bringing the deals and doin the foot work and im a ghost on contract..we split 50/50 ..the money has been great but im to a point where its not enough for me to make my own moves..so rather than waiting for people to call me im looking for REOs and foreclosures and looking for ones that have big equity gaps and when i find one i want to get it then either wholesale or rehab it and do this a few times taking little chunks of money and saving it until i get a goal of 50k...my problem is the money part..i can use my partners private money who is asking 12%annual interest and the money wants 50% of profits ..which would leave the other 50% for me and my partner to split and id probably stay being a ghost and being quiet OR do I just go get my own hard money loan and break away from him and start taking all the risk...no risk no reward i get it but if i continue to do it the way i been doing it then i'll be little more on easy street until my goal is met.  1 down side is time..i think my partner is treats me more like a option rather than a priority which I understand but I dont get questions and things done as fast as i think they should get handled. what do you guys think?

Those (advertised) rates are always for OO loans.
