At least that's my understanding.Here is how I do it:    Use Airbnb for advertising and payment processing.

My guess is the majority of the responses you've gotten on this thread are from hard money lenders advertising themselves as private money lenders.

When the initial tenant broke the lease (after not paying rent for a month and a half) the PM advised me to lower the rent instead of raising it as advertised in the initial proforma.2.

A successful wholesaler says he spends over $25,000 a month in advertising.

The one place we have pull out couches we don't advertise the and only have them so the cabin can sleep our family when we visit.

DSCR lenders generally are not advertising directly to the public so having a mortgage broker with established relationships can help you get better terms such as lower down payments and better guidelines that benefit the investor.

They didn't need to advertise to new investors at all. 

But you will need to get this from true private money sources, not really advertised online.

The area is much rougher than advertised.
