Big City Real Estate Rentals

How do investors make rentals profitable in big cities where real estate costs so much more and can not follow the 1% rule? I'm in West Seattle specifically put am in my early 20's and still open to traveling the US. I would like to start investing in rental properties while I still live here but can't see how it would be viable with such expensive housing prices.

@River Luce

You cannot force a property to cash flow, I'd suggest searching deeper to look for properties that work for your investment goals.
