Austin, are you on facebook? 

Rutgers University Housing, Rooms, Apartments, SubletsI would suggest joining this facebook group and then advertising on there. 

I would interview a few brokerages in the County and evaluate based on the managing broker, what is offered in terms of your status as a new licensee (mentoring, training, tech, sales support, etc.).

An acquaintance of mine has a facebook group called "MOV real estate investors" for investors in the parkersburg area to connect and share info.

Would that cause issues with my owner occupancy status?

For outliers I recommend spending the time to do your own rent survey (using adds Zillow, Craigslist, Facebook market place, hotPads, etc.)Good luck

Wow. working great. so here is the question, This is Washington State. so we are now advertising another one on Facebook. if they ask how much can we tell them it depends on your risk factors.

Public notices that list the default and the sale, are free, and are the most accurate reflection of the status of a defaulted loan.

Do you think the market is served well enough by Trulia-Hotpads/Facebook Marketplace/Roomster/Craigslist/Community Boards?

With the midwest market doing as well as it is, you'll have a lot more flexibility while living there to explore close-by states too.Take advantage of your decision to move to your investment area though and network in-person to find other REI individuals who can help - joining groups on Facebook or other social medias is a great way to start getting familiar with other locals in the area and what contractors, neighborhoods, lenders, etc. are doing, too.Best of luck to you!!
