If you are a Pro member you would have a place other than here to advertise yourself on Biggerpockets.  

but I also don't want to turn away people who we might want as tenants either.The other question is this: how early do we want to start advertising the house? 

Hi all - Throughout my real estate investing career (~1 month) I've sent out approximately 400 yellow letters and and have done a ton of craigslist advertising.

Is it to advertise that you buy houses, show your projects, explain investing, etc?  

In addition to PITI, positive cash flow must also cover the operating expenses (daily maintenance, PM, advertising, turnover...) as mentioned above, but also the long-term costs of the asset class: improvements.

The goal of the Fair Housing Act is to ensure “no person shall be subjected to discrimination because of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status or national origin in the sale, rental or advertising of dwellings, in the provision of brokerage services, or in the availability of residential real-estate related transactions.†With respect to people with disabilities, the Act serves to: * Give people with disabilities opportunities to choose where they want to live; * Assure that reasonable accommodations and reasonable modifications are made so that a person with a disability can secure and use housing as fully as a person without a disability

If this is a good deal how do you go about converting to comerical (at least appealing to comercial) and advertising?

Our sweet spot is 60% - 80% LTV, 6-12 mo term, single digit coupon rate, low points.

When I look for new tenants I always post on a in advertisements that I perform Background Checks & Credit Checks.

I also post for rent signs in the front of the house My mom likes advertising in the paper.
