In one particular instance my town received hundreds of thousands of dollars to clean up the site of a former grand hotel from the turn of the nineteenth century that had been abandoned with full above ground and below ground oil tanks.

I typically see advertised 5 and 6 caps with actuals probably not matching that rosy pro forma.

I know of some furniture companies doing staging for free, as it can help to advertise their products while you are trying to sell the house.

You have to build up a buyers list, such as by advertising or going to your local REIA.

So it may not be the best way to determine if he is doing a good job of advertising the vacancies.Since you are happy with him managing your other properties, why not help him out some, suggest Graiglist, telling him the success you have had in the past.

So if you made $100 (on line 1) but used $100 in advertising (line 8) your taxable income (line 31) would be $0.

I may look into them in the future, but right now I'm not having a problem getting my properties rented without Section 8.I just had a 4 bedroom 1 bath house that I advertised and my phone EXPLODED!

talking about classifieds… I can actually say that in 10 years I have never advertised the property once!

I advertised on postlets.com.

I realized that the best way for me to get any deals is to spend money marketing and advertising directly to owners.I just signed a lease for my first office space and will begin marketing and advertising shortly.In the meantime, I am looking to network with other like minded real estate investors and would appreciate any and all advise and or feedback.Thanks for listening and hope to stay in touch!
