Rentals are one area where the little guy can still compete with the mega corps and large apt complexes, often winning over some choice tenants with personal service, flexible terms, and small touches...Just a few ways, off the top of my head, that I think we can gain a competitive advantage over more rigidly run large complexes (though all markets vary, so these are based on my experiences)....) flexible terms (I offer a six month or one year lease; of course, most six month folks renew, but some like the flexibility; some large complexes are "one year or nothing" in my market..)) new mats (inside and out of the doors; bath, even runners or area rugs in high traffic area for vinyl plank flooring)...while they add some "wow factor" and look like gifts, there is self interest at work here, however, as the matting greatly reduces wear and tear on my flooring.) pets on approval ( I have some of the best behaved canine tenants imaginable, and their high quality tenant owners stay long term, are respectful, and pay well,yet are often shunned by many "no pets" larger places)) small (tax deductible) $20 gift card at holidays ..

(ARV $110k, $40-50k in + purchase price + holding + transfer/purchase)And a mixed use commercial property I really want in a heavy traffic area that I need to convince the owner that he's overpaid.

Being located in a walkable area is advisable to help with LA traffic.

Or are you looking for channels with which to advertise and increase traffic?

 Oakland Park is probably not the place you will get much traffic from on Air BnB only because it isn't close to vacation spots unless the property you find is East of I-95 (closer to the beach).

I have a few friends that study at UW Bothell and it seems to be an awesome campus and keeps them out of traffic.

Do you get a lot of traffic from Chinese buyers compared to other sites?
