@Enis Shehu has great presence and network out in Metro west if you'd like to connect with him.

@Matt Parker you are in sticky territory here and if you do anything wrong, and the tenant pushes back, you'll lose in court.There are 4 loopholes to SB 608 on why you can terminate a tenant.

Five and up you're in commercial territory with higher rates, shorter terms.Also, I owned condo rentals, and the HOA provide several laundry rooms in the complex, and they forbid washers in individual units.

This could be a Youtube page where you post educational content, a podcast, or other social media platforms. this will not only help you attract capital but will also help you have some kind of presence to potential investors that will serve to building your credibility in the space. 

I did no billboards or advertising, but when you have a presence, people know you and approach you about buying their property;  and I sent multiple letter to the specific owners listed above, as the primary source. 

If you do decide to do it, I would suggest combining it with an online presence targeting the same areas.

Find people who work the territory you want to play in.A broker who routinely sells 200 to 300 unit properties is probably not the right broker if you are looking 20 to 50 unit deals.

Even in the off-season, there's enough demand driven by the massive military presence and industry in the area. 

Pest report indicates presence of termites & need for fumigation.

I find it easier to trust people who have a large public/online presence (active on BP, social media, etc).
