Wondering how agents / owners feel about digital advertising?

Over 2% it should be decent cashflow.For example: $2,000 rental income / $250,000 property price=.8%  Your expenses (unless you pay all cash) will be in the neighborhood of $2,200 and your income is only $2K.To your point, most advertised deals stink, unless your willing to accept a low single digit return.

@Andrea DiazI’d buy (financed) 3 really good rentals in Metro Detroit(my rental portfolio is here)Purchase: $80k-$130kRent: $1200-$1500ROI: Double DigitCash flow: couple hundred/monthAppreciation: Double digit (for past 10 years, will gladly send data)Location: C, B- (suburbs and certain markets)We have over a dozen Fortune 500 companies just in Metro Detroit with huge Healthcare and Auto industries.

I know that's added cost, but is it worthwhile, or just focus on digital marketing?

Dense urban areas obviously have more people but there are typically more competitors nearby also.I have a website with a bunch of free information and resources, and a newly released free ebook, The Keys to Buying Your First Laundromat, that should give you a pretty good idea about what it takes to own a laundromat and how to get one if you decide it's right for you.

@Bernard Haugh Congrats, I am going to send you a PM with a quick ebook I just wrote for our website that goes over common mistakes I see investors make when buying in Chicago. 

Maybe you're great with digital design, or marketing, or personal outreach - it could be anything. 

I'm interested in knowing if Walnut Creek is a good medium-term rental market for traveling nurses, digital nomads, etc. 

As far as I know if Title can't dig it up and it's later found they're on the hook.

I'd recommend you read the quick ebook Brandon Turner made called "7 years to 7 figures" (search for it at www.biggerpockets.com/files).
