Online will always be better, and there is no arguing or disputing this.This is not a matter of opinion simply because those that are credible and ranking #1 always have a better ROI (obviously because leads are free).The best method would depend on your circumstances.If you have a kick *** website that ranks #1 for every possible keyword...

At the end of the day, your leg work has to come in somewhere - either you're hustling to drive people to your website (handing out cards, connecting with people and telling them to check you out etc.) or you're hustling on the "back-end" to get your website ranking high enough that people find it organically. 

Could we use this as a master thread in providing links to lists, rankings and regulator information for these type of providers?

Since then, I finished college and continued working my way up through the ranks to sit as our Chief Estimator and Safety Officer.

At the end of that hold period, you should already have a decent amount of equity due to CA's average annual growth rates, and if San Diego continues to flood with new residents (it was ranked the 8th fastest growing city in 2018), that decent amount of equity could grow to a sizeable chunk of change.

That said, all 4 of those cities I mentioned are located in states with an average property tax rate that is half of the average in Illinois, according to USA Today's 2019 ranking of property taxes by state. 

Overtime your rankings will increase with time if you play by Google rules.  

The neighborhood seems great to invest as it is close to Johns Hopkins Hospital, a huge top ranked hospital, the touristy waterfront, a huge park, yet it still has enough city edge to keep prices affordable.

@Tim Bishop I've ranked quite a few sites and would be more than happy to help out.  

While there is a reliance on 'welfare' or entitlement still exists (to a large degree), I wouldn't discount the area as a whole as it seemingly has done better than the 'hot' markets during the downturn...I do understand Syracuse (and Buffalo) aren't doing as well as Rochester overall but I think even Syracuse has ranked high on the rent to returns chart, probably due to the welfare nature as well.
