It's tons of work and requires money to be invested in advertising.

Are you all just advertising on craigslist or local papers? 

Go to REIAs and REI meetups and advertise your deal and buyers will come up to you.

First you should never over improve for the location.Second make sure you are advertising on CL, FB marketplace and Zillow, give it a little time, then you may have to lower the rent if necessary.

Hi All - I do some hard money lending in Texas and a realtor in Texas just told me that I cannot use the word "lender” or "investment" on my business cards. The realtor also mentioned that I cannot collect date of bir...

In the past year I feel the game has changed for how these are advertised too - now there are Facebook groups where students post their criteria for a room and landlords come to them, so if you're an unknown landlord you spend a lot of time marketing.

Second, can I deduct pre-roommate expenses such as:- Home inspection- Advertising the rental- Appraisal fees- etc.My guess is that I can deduct anything directly related to renting the place (such as advertising and background checks), BUT I cannot deduct things like home inspection and appraisal fees which are unrelated to renting.Is my line of thinking correct?

As mentioned above I have access to multiple strategies and since they are Reg D investments I can’t overtly advertise specific products, only strategies.

It says that it's free so I am wondering what the catch is

@Theresa Priebe You may want to look at local advertising versus online.
