Have someone who is involved in the chamber of commerce and can talk up your space at local meet ups.

Also, call the Chamber of Commerce in the area and talk to the economic development division and find out what is going on in that market, are they adding jobs?

We recently went to an event in West Houston Chamber of Commerce and they addressed this issue in detail.

Sometimes BiggerPockets can be an echo chamber.

They can do Harris, Montgomery, Chambers, Brazoria and others but not Liberty or Trinity.

I knew her from some committees we serve on at the Chamber and so far she seems very responsive and open to working with me, getting me info, showing me multiple properties, etc.I see you agree with my mentor about the multiple offers.

is once you narrow down a market and most are interchangeable for sake of argument they all have their high points and low points.. just read the chamber of commerce  stuff :)google the median home price ( if that's what your looking for an SFR rental) and by as close to the median as possible it might not be the biggest return on paper but it will be far safer than say buying props that are 30 to 50% less than the median..

Talk to the Chamber of Commerce and find out the development plans for the next decade and you will understand better why you are in a great area to make serious money.

Reach out to businesses that are expanding or considering moving into the area (Chamber of Commerce would be a source).  

You could also join a local Chamber to get a good, local backlink!
