Now it's well over $2M.As a result, buyers of moderate means were forced out in concentric circles.

No matter how good your systems are you will likely end up in that city a few times per year at least, especially in the early years.With that being said, once you have your core team established in long-distance investing, it becomes much easier and problems equal google searches for vendors, phone calls and book keeping in your life (project management) vs. swinging the hammer or fixing a toilet yourself because you're forced to put those systems in place.I live in a similarly expensive city and would honestly be stoked to find a duplex in Denver for $600K!

Relo company or insurance companies aren't going to pay that much and they'll just force the customer in a hotel or apartment.#3. 

Some people make pure financial decisions, but it's rare that continues in full force for the duration of your entire life. 

I've had a Craigslist rental ad up for weeks with no issues, no discriminatory verbiage, etc and since I had a "run in" with a local RE agent who was trying to force me to take her applicant (who was on every program in the book; not that there is anything wrong with that) I believe she is behind the flagging since I wouldn't accept the applicant.  

I know that is frustrating, but you can't force that horse to drink as the old saying goes.My thought take a look at https://kwnextgen.org/  see if they would have any interest in that...or find some kind of meetup groups that has people their age in it or take them to a conference and see if anything sticks. 

Always include a provision that allows you to claim attorney's fees and court costs if you are forced into a dispute or lawsuit with a tenant.

I would also suggest forcing appreciation to reduce market speculation (property improvements, adding bedrooms, finding ways to increase rent, buying at a discount, etc).Good luck!

Of course, some slip through the cracks, but the majority of forced evictions occur because of bad upfront vetting of tenants.
