To respect the readership, I will use bullet-points.Gentrification need not be, and I respectfully posit, is NOT a bad-word. 

Some cities have great readership by renters-to-be.

However even more awesome is the fact that through your leadership, you've brought 24 newbies with 10 or fewer posts out from the anonymous readership ranks and into the ranks of posters.

I don't believe there was any offense intended and some Hack writer trying to drum up readership doesn't surprise me.

I'm not fond of location-specific posts because of their limited interest to the full readership, but here I am making one. 

The only way for them to follow that idea would be to renounce their US citizenship, which very few Americans have been willing to do, for understandable reasons.Most of the BiggerPockets readership is made up of Americans who most likely won't want to give up their US citizenship.

Since Rotary is an International organization I have readership all over the world.

My traffic/readership has built steadily over the four years I've been writing.

I have been living in San Diego and invested both locally and all over California back in 2008 and till today. at the past several years I own and manage rentals across the USA - Cleveland Rochester Orlando south bend to name a few markets, Investing and managing the rentals - all the way from my office in Israel.as I have learned - no one will be better selecting tenants then YOU, if you have some time (despite time difference, here in Israel it is 10 hours difference so I am  quite familiar with the hassle) - then in order to have good returns on your rentals - just DIY. yes- use an agent to "place" a new tenant, but you choose the criteria, you talk to the prospective tenants - previous land lord and current employer. then after you have a new tenant (dont forget to pay the local real estate agent a nice commission for pacing the tenant) - try to manage the unit your self , build relationship with the tenant.I have found that by using some technology at your side - you can keep good readerships with your tenants for the long run, if they have something that needs to be fixed - just get some local handy man to take care of it, regardless you live in Cambodia - several phone calls - and you will solve your problem.

It would also be nice to speak to other bloggers about how they expanded their readership.
