https://www.forbes.com/sites/samanthasharf/2018/02/01/full-list-where-to-invest-in-housing-in-2018/#5290407a627eI am very keen on using a Turnkey provider.

I have used sites like zillow, realtor.com, and craigslist as a reference but prefer something that lists past rental listings as well.I've considered rentometer but know its based on average/median rents so a lot of apartment complexes are included when I am more interested in SF homes and duplex rental rates.Thanks!

It's a single visit and I've found them to generally be pretty helpful.

Washer and dryer inclusion may get you an extra $25-$50 a month, but you'd have to check what your competitors are offering as many apartments offer in-home and/or on-site laundry.You can also consider LED lighting, pet rent, storage rental as other ways to add value and increase rental income.
