The repairs you list do not strike me as promoting your property value up 20%.

John Beck was a guru back in the early 70s who did a lot of small time (self promoted ) stuff with tax liens/deeds, particularly in California.  

Seems like I’m promoting but definitely not.

Sellers often promote this as a positive, because, they claim, you can use that passive loss to offset other income.  

The reasons are a motivated mayor who promotes development within the City, a 12% high income job growth and 12% increase in freshman college student enrollment at Salisbury University.

Can someone tell me if there’s a meet up group or club in NW Houston, Texas that doesn’t have vendors promoting their products or services?

I am not promoting their service.

Obviously I don't want the newsletter to be a giant promotion so the content must be both relevant & valuable.What types of companies target realtors for regular marketing efforts anyways?

I would discuss the bidding instructions with your trustee.Lastly, there's nothing remotely sinister about promoting the auction elsewhere, such as CL, social media, etc. if you believe there's enough  equity spread to generate a surplus overbid, even consider getting the family in on this with the thoughts that they apply for the overage under small estates rules for personal property (since it would be cash). 

Hey @Robert Bleisch, Given we are accountants, we cannot promote our services on BP as its against the rules.To help in your search:be sure to find an accountant who is willing to grow with you, and is not too high priced fee-wise.
