I apologize if it comes off as rude, but I really just want to drive the point home. 

after reading all of these comments, I don't want to waste my time ( considering I have to drive 1.5 hours each way to the workshop).

Where people want to live will drive rents, revenue, and appreciation. 

Don't be obnoxious, but a few open ended questions may give you good insight into what your unit may be lacking and what people do like about it, to help drive future upgrades and marketing, and maybe help compensate for a shortcoming in the short term too.

Just look around on the roadway as you drive.

Hi all, thanks for taking the time to read and provide your ideas.I am just starting out (in the UK), and I have been reaching out to real estate investors on linkedin and facebook, organizing chats to learn more about where they started, where they see opportunities currently in our market, etc.One question which all investors asked me is: What is my strategy?

I’m building a tech solution that should drive more buyer leads to an agent’s pipeline.

you should come to the highest&best toy drive and REI meetup today so we can meet and chat.

Those should drive a ton of traffic to your listing.Furnished Finder is the go to for MTRs (long term rentals with a shorter stay, over 30 days).You can also use FB like @Bruce Woodruff mentioned but you will need to get everything setup to take bookings.

We also want to expand our profolio but cannot find anything within 2 hours drive, or in California in general.
