I don't have a property to advertise for one, and secondly I don't want to be falsely advertising.

I have read recently identity thefts are carried out by advertising non-existent rentals and asking people for info on the pretext of vetting them.

It has to be town down although I am not sure the owner thinks so since he advertised it with the cabin. 

I'm not sure what the limitations are on advertising here, if we're literally just answering the question and the occupation is the answer. 

Now all of a sudden they have started slowing things down, demanding that I stop advertising the place; while refusing to sign the contract at the same time; locking in the deal.

They just advertise it to their members. 

I can do my own separate by-owner business, not using my broker's firm or the local MLS, and my broker is fine with it, but if I want to advertise on the MLS or run anything through my office, I'm limited to 3 properties a year if I am involved as owner, and none if it involves an LLC if I am part owner, any percentage, even 1%. 

You could add a inexpensive pullout bed and advertise on Airbnb, Home Away and VRBO.

Hey Brendan,We aren't allowed to specifically advertise on the forums here but I'm based out of Boston and do lending across greater New England.

I would advertise it for what it is.
