That is online with what we’ve been paying when we were able to find help.

Do you use a “book” for information or an online service ?

@Jorge Vazquez we stopped doing signs over 10 years ago.We had a separate phone number on our signs, so were able to track traffic & applications from them.We were getting more & BETTER leads from our online ads then the signs - so an easy choice to stop using them (also time & money savings).

Quote from @Michael Smythe: @Tuan Tran don't fall for all the hype about S8 by so called online "gurus"!

There is a cumbersome way to do it on paper forms, but you should not.The only sensible way is to submit your 1099s to the IRS online, however not directly with the IRS.

You can also check their reviews online at Google, Facebook, or Yelp.

I do SMS, cold call, mail, online, wholesalers, etc.

I’d love to hear about the crime rates or any other issues (which we cannot guess from the online stats), and how easy or hard it is to find reliable tenants and property management companies.

My recommendation would be to get approved as a Landlord, contact the director's office and request that an inspection be completed before a tenant is selected (sometimes they will do this as long as you select a tenant within 14 days - which you want anyways), and have an online application and screening resource in place.  

Networking, local meetups, door knocking, mailers, wholesalers, online forums specific to your area of interest.
