As a contractor myself I was excited to see this as a resource, when I saw homeadvisor I was pretty upset.Homeadvisor preys on contractors, sells them bogus leads or over used leads, locks them into incredibly high prices which dont get me wrong if your getting quality leads you pay but there leads are literally wild goose chases.This is so prevalent they filed a class action lawsuit against them.Please do not use home advisor, shop and vet you local contractors.

These are the reasons: The area has a high rental to owner percentage, property values are slightly better than stagnant, given the low rent it can be difficult to find a quality tenants. 

You're looking to consistently invest in quality deals that pay you while you wait AND appreciate well on a risk-adjusted basis.To get decent advice you're also going to need to be very specific about what your goals are.

For quality, owner occupant single family residences (the sort of thing most investors wouldn't be very interested in because there's no cash flow) in decent areas, demand remains very high.

Define your role.Tell the World what you looking for and join forces with those in alignment to your goals/role.As mentioned, the more experience and credibility the easier to find a quality partner.

However, if your property/rental is well priced, has high quality photos, and/or has a virtual tour, you can still get some good traffic!

Even if you keep most of your capital in super high quality low-risk bonds, you will have to deal with the risk of inflation and government insolvency. 

If you're taking quality photos, you should be paid for doing so.

Or should I sell it after making it a quality rental?

This is a long term investment strategy, and as long as you are buying a good quality asset in a solid location you should be fine.
