Homewyse.com is your best bet in my mind. 

I'll bet that if you were to give away a free Canada Goose jacket (and average out the cost by adding it to the monthly rent) you would have a line up of Korean students :) Full disclosure - I have rented to Korean students and they are excellent tenants, when they're 20+ years old.

Your best bet is to find good deals so others will be interested in helping you get started.

That would be your best bet.

Your best bet is to request the unit to be serviced, and if results are not to your liking, come to an agreement with the LL to exit your lease early, and rent somewhere else. 

Best bet is to check with a good commercial appraiser in the area or a competent broker.Good luck! 

So that's my question, would you rather go after a cheaper 20-unit that takes more selling, more maintenance, and more marketing but is an overall safer bet, or fix and rent a nice single family home but risk overpaying or having your only unit vacant too long.

I'm betting you can find a viable reason to evict her for.  

In a great school district you may get an initial lower ROI but in the long run it may be higher when you sell the property because it is usually a safer bet and the appreciation will most likely be strong.

Vacancy control is illegal in CA, and I'd bet most states.
