Advertise your property in more places, contact local RE agents and let them know what you have available for rent and stick to your tenant screening process 100% of the time.

Bob is right that you can get better cash flow on the east side, but I still see deals pop up over there from time to time and I don't see any rapid depreciation in those neighborhoods coming any time soon and I think if your strategy is to buy and hold in nicer areas with less risk, it's a very good area to target.

When I saw Antoine Martel from FlipSystem Posting Advertisement on social media like this:"You only need $10K ~ $30K to invest in RealEsate doing Flipping and make 100% ROI in 4 months""My clients in FlipSystem averagely spend 4 hours in managing each Flip Project""We help you to quite your JOB in couple of months by doing Flipping""We have few hundreds of success happy client - (Actually there might be few hundreds of clients losing their hard working money)"And lots of other advertisement stating: "Easy, Fast, Low RISK" in their programI thought: "Wow, doing Flipping is so easy and profitable and low-bar to enter in, I should join their program and start make money!"

Another effective approach can be targeting pre-foreclosure properties where you negotiate directly with distressed homeowners before the property goes to auction.
