we do have to remember and I know its 10 years ago and many on this site are post GFC investor and know no better.. but were do you think all these deals came from... back in 2010 to 2014  it was not from well performing assets it was from stressed and failed owners. 

With Google, Yelp, Facebook reviews as well as what is on their site and what type of content they are posting on their social media pages....

I've got plenty of experience in both site built and mod construction. 

Get listed on all the OTA’s and a direct booking site, use good management software like HostAway, use dynamic pricing software like pricelabs, use WiFi enabled smart locks like Schlage encode, use an email capture system for guests to login to WiFi like stayfi, use those captured emails to do marketing for your direct booking site, and automate scheduling and payments for cleaners and maintenance.

They offer renters a unique option that feels like home but without the long-term commitment.A developer friend of mine in San Diego recently completed a BTR project on a former industrial site.

I purchase the materials and have them delivered or deliver them to the job site.

Quote from @Felicia Smith: Love this site!

I keep monitoring the properties in the Cleveland Heights area (where we are looking to buy) on Zillow and other web sites but I am sure there are other ways of finding properties.

What tenant screening sites has everyone had luck with?

Maryland’s DLLR site you mentioned is definitely a step in the right direction.
