Someone said every mile you drive with it on counts because you are advertising.  

So, I won't even advertise until the place is ready.  

Great way to pick up some good info and possibly a deal.I have listed below some Rules of Thumb we use.Good luckPaulExpensesTaxes  (80% Purchase Price) x (Mill rate) = TaxesInsurance $250 per door (this could be higher, depending on if property is closer to coast, the claim history, if in flood zone, etc)Repairs & Maintenance (R&M)  $300–$600 per door Contractors and material, Carpet Cleaning, Keys and Locksets, Make ReadyGeneral Administration  $100-250 per doorManagement Fees Typically 4% of Total Income for larger propertiesMarketing/Advertising $100 per doorUtilities Take historical from last year, annualize this year’s, compare & then take the higher of the two. 

I am attracting buyer and seller leads via the social media advertising strategies I've learned initially through those books and now through my own trial and area. 

To draw these tenant to your listing, you can put something like 'Section 8 Vouchers welcome' in your rental advertisement.  

Look up your state laws, but typically in SFH there are less restrictions in who you pick BUT you usually can't advertise to specific groups of people...age, gender etc.

Also, call people that post signs that say "We Buy Houses" and put your own signs around town advertising your property.Before you do any of this make sure your municipality allows wholesaling, then make sure you have the contract on the property before you start advertising/finding buyers.

DO NOT ADVERTISE YOUR OWN SERVICES HERE. 

I am currently a project manager on a year-long Electronic Medical Record implementation at a local hospital.My not-so-long-term plan is to stop trading time for money, and I have therefore started learning about various ways to build up passive income.

I bet if we went around advertising a property we didn't own, we would get fined, maybe imprisoned, and black-balled.Anyone can help letting us know who to report this type of activity?
