Advertise on online free sites such as Craigs List etc.

It Seems to be flooded lately with people who try to get connected with anyone and everyone willing to accept them so they can inundate your inbox with advertisements. 

I am thinking of either going through an online funding platform or advertising the opportunity or using crowdfunding.Which would you advise me to start with.Note that I am excluding taking a loan here because I am only 18 and in university, all banks said they wouldn't lend to me.Thanks!

Things happen everywhere.I just saw this where 4 got shot last night in a hip trendy neighborhood of San Franhttp://news.yahoo.com/four-men-shot-dead-car-san-francisco-california-105601562.html

I am writing today because I have found what I think to be some great opportunities for wholesale deals where I live (Chilliwack, British Columbia Canada) but I am unsure of how to acquire them.They are not listed, I am basically intending to do a "cold" approach and either knock on their door myself, use a persuasive realtor to phone them or maybe even a flier advertising cash for homes?

We usually quote a flat fee around $1,200 plus costs (costs will vary, depending on how many parties need to be served, and also include the advertising costs). 

A lot of people on BP advertise this exact kind of asset based lending that may suit you well.  

What is the best way to advertise a rental in Southern California?
