(AP) More than 1,000 people were defrauded out of about $70 million by a group advertising the dream of homeownership in what turned out to be a nightmare Ponzi scheme, federal and Maryland officials said Monday.http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090427/ap_on_go_ot/us_mortgage_fraud :cool:

Without giving us an advertisment, which is prohibited on this site (unless you pay for one, of course), please tell us what land listing sites are in general.

I know this maybe a duh question ..but I want to know if I advertise my business in Magazine, Newspapers, and stuff that comes through the mail...Thats NOT illegal, right?..

But I can't help but wonder about all these short sales I see advertised all over the MLS & internet by real estate agents.

Those companies always had the best advertising and such, and the sellers were normally willing to pay that extra percent.

I've seen empty lots for sale that looked like they've been subdivided but the lot itself was too small to legally build on (even though it looked like a house can comfortably fit on the land)Also maybe try to find out how much it costs PSF to build a new home on average so you can advertise that to potential developers or even a homebuyer who is looking to build their own home.

You just need to decide how to monetize it (agent, advertising, note brokers, pay per listing etc..)

I was going to advertise it at my local REIA too, but would appreciate any assistance about marketing it on the web, youtube, newspaper etc.

please feel free to advertise your site in your signature line and not the body of the post or it will be removed as it appears to be spammish.

I'm a real broker, is it legal to advertise for family their property on the internet in states I am not licensed in?
