We consider looking for or offering products, properties, services, loans, education, and self promotion to be advertising, which is only allowed in the Marketplace forum.If you're looking for things to avoid when obtaining a Hard Money Loan, then the regular forums is a great place to ask that question.We have a Hard Money Lender Directory at www.biggerpockets.com/hml sorted by state.

Sucks but suck it up and pass on them and keep advertising. 

1) I use 3 times the rent to be eligible to rent  this is a HARD number and I don’t go below it ever  because it is 1/3 the gross salary of the individual which is customarily the amount recommended for owning a home or any budgeting classes or lecture or anything   So for me this is the pass fail item   If I can not verify the amount then it doesn’t count as income  2) I use 600 for a credit score minimum in my advertisements, however my tenant pool is typically 525-600 scores.  

If we didn't have to list it and had no advertising fees etc we could do it even lower

If you advertised this a lot in the market before selling, it tells that you were intending to sell this since the inception.

If you're okay with the turnkey concept (meaning you've gotten past the obvious downside), the less obvious downside that I've seen with myself and with other turnkey buyers is that turnkeys are advertised as being hands-off rental properties.

How do you advertise rentals to tenants?

I purchased this property sight-unseen which was both a blessing and a curse.The curse was that the house was not in the condition as advertised.

So, HUD is charging FB with Fair Housing discrimination over target advertising practices. 

I am a little bit overwhelmed by the number of possible syndicators advertising online, in podcasts or various meetings.
