Regarding your Apache Junction lease option, had you been advertising it off-MLS and someone contacted you, or was it just happenstance that landed the buyer?

The big direct writers(companies who only sell their own product with their own sales force) put billions into advertising.  

Check your local or state laws on abandoned property after foreclosure.

Being that it takes a little more time to build clientele, being a designer, I feel as if, it would be smart, for me to go ahead an make a name for myself, by flipping antique pieces of furniture and while advertising, mention that I also offer interior design services.

The practice of “wholesaling” remains legal if these “truth in advertising” rules are adhered to."

Luckily for me it's just far enough away not to steal any of the tenants I'll be advertising to in the future, lol.So maintain your motivation, stay the course, and achieve your dreams.

In FL, you cannot show or advertise properties you do not own unless licensed.

Remember, they cannot advertise or market the property unless they own it or are licensed.

Im a newbie investor who just started posting bandit signs and advertising on craigslist.

Cheap advertising.
