Since I can not advertise the site (BP policy non-pro) where is a neutral location in cyberspace to meet?

As @Chris Mason mentioned...yea, there are more than a few who will def do that stuff on the commercial side, not just from advertising, but I've placed some commercial re loans with MJ components.

Easy way to get everything over to them digitally and it's free (for now). 

College rentals generally turn over every year, however this offers a few distinct advantages (1) this will happen at the same time every year and it will happen when demand to rent is at its highest, this makes for a cycle that is easy to predict. (2) because turnover happens at the same time you can find out 3-5 months in advance if they are going to be renewing their lease you are able to prepare accordingly by advertising and pre-leasing the property months in advance.

I remember doing some cold calling, or canvassing, as they call it nowadays, on homes advertised for sale by owner in the local newspaper.

As far as not getting full price not using a realtor, having been doing this for 30 years and having passed the real estate exam in NY, NC and FL  five years ago I would've agreed with you  But in this digital age I hundred percent disagree with your statement 

Did you set occupancy criteria for this home.. more people more wear and tear.. figure out what might not meet the application criteria,, and keep advertising and set occupancy level to maximum of 5 people. or 6 but I always do less than average..Also if you pay any utilities they'll have huge impact with that many people..Maybe just ask how many cars... because your limited to only XXX cars per your unit and because you don't have parking for that number of people,, your application can not be approved... 

Exemptions exist at the state and federal level and each has its own set of rules, such as describing minimum investor financial qualifications, advertising prohibitions, dollar limits for the offering, limits on the number of investors or the amount they can invest, etc. e) Most exemptions are self-executing, meaning the the syndicator has to keep records showing how they followed the rules in case of an investigation by a regulator or legal action by a disgruntled investor.

In all fairness, I know this won't be a popular topic, and I'm going to post up and wait for replies rather than facilitate the discussion....so here goes....I've seen a lot of advertisements, I've received a few offers, and I've seen a lot of offers for "hard money loans" or "private money lending". 

Post on craigslist, it is free advertising... great tool for people just starting off and not looking to spend thousands of dollars a month on billboards that say "I buy homes for CASH".Connect, connect and connect some more.
