Posting on Facebook is most certainly marketing, but even e-mailing a deal to someone in private is marketing.

@Charles E Nielsen I've looked a bit in your city previously.

I've done this and have become financially independent through building an e-commerce business and investing the profits. 

Welcome to BiggerPockets forums @Luis E Zarazua!

Normally, rental property income is considered passive and reported on Schedule E.

@Norb Schneider Identify and work with a Rockstar ON-FIRE Agent and the rest will be a breeze.ON-FIRE Agent mean they are:O - Organize (The Investor-Agent must be well-organized)N - Network (The Investor-Agent must be well network with other Real Estate professionals like Lenders, Appraisers, Property Managers, Inspectors, Insurance Agent, Contractors, etc)F - Focus (The Investor-Agent MUST Focus on YOU)I - Investor/Investment-Savvy (MUST be INVESTMENT SAVVY)R - Responsive (Must Be responsive and answer your call/text)E - Experience (Must be an investor or have experience working with investors)You can find one under Network ->Real Estate Agent here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/...Goodluck

A lot of people going in and forget that if they do not have experience in rentals with proof on a schedule E than they cannot use the projected rental income as qualifying income to qualify.

For those without e-mails (or refuse to give them to me), are there other payment systems I can use? 

Also having two mortgages will also give you a good tax deduction on your Schedule E at the end of the year.
