@Matt Granzow I did - here are my main takeaways:Laundromat was closed in the middle of the day (even though it was advertised as open).

That just happens to be advertising on that network.

Follow this six-step procedure to account for the property’s rental income and all the expenses.Step 1: Report 100% of rental income on Schedule E of Form 1040.Step 2: Deduct 100% of any direct rental expenses (such as rental agency fees and advertising) on Schedule E.Step 3: Allocate mortgage interest and property taxes between rental and personal use.

Any thought about how to prevent scammers advertising our rental and getting applications, security deposit and first month rent? 

This is central to BP's corporate strategy: the more inexperienced investors they bring to their platform (via forums, podcast, blogs) the more they can charge advertisers to reach this audience. 

Your local Craigslist will have several people/companies that advertise free bee hive removal. 

You have to realize that there are real estate investors in every state with hundreds of millions of dollars and then ask why local investors are not buying the properties and the seller have to advertise nationwide.

@Joel HollingsworthNot sure your a real person or a paid advertisement string but Im game.I grew up visiting Gatlinburg at least once a year tons of families do!

The current owner has not actively managed or advertised it over the last year due to him wanting to focus on other interests.

How do you advertise your properties?
