False advertising.  

Is the property being advertised for sale?

In the advertisement on BP podcast they exclaim that they will drive up the rentals and that you will have a low vacancy rate. this is 100% true. i have been booked solid since may. however. last month it cost me $500 to let strangers stay in my house and this month i might break even. 

I did a walk through a few days before it was advertised through Facebook.

As a matter of fact , prospective tenants have been contacting us about rentals that are not even vacant or advertised for rent.

They’re not supporting the act of “advertising or marketing”.  

But a "quick" sale to amateur investors who just paid for a course organized around the guru model advertised on a cheap wordpress website?

The STR consistency here is better than advertised, I'm getting about average of 5 days per visit.

I had thought of advertising the properties ahead of time to sell them before construction starts and give people the option to pick a few details on their own just to get the properties sold ahead of time to help with financing.

Here's how they work: they advertise a low initial cost of $499 for a 30-yard dumpster, but in the fine print, it says you'll pay extra for any weight over 3000 pounds.As a first-time home renovator, I assumed the 3000 pounds would be more than enough and ended up paying a lot more than I expected.
