Your suggestions could work, but what jumped to mind for me is that there are a lot of organizations that could partner with you for boots on the ground knowledge.But the answer really depends on what you feel your unique ability is.

Minneapolis is a unique opportunity.

We put in new floors, and painted, and decorated the home.

We are leaning on a melding of camping off grid and glamping, along with a unique experience with the 25 acres of woods with trails.

I found many areas have very unique price charts.

Does anyone in the Houston area know of an investor(s) that have a unique niche/client population in that they mainly deal with leasing their properties to individuals with a criminal backgrounds? 

Clean it up and add some light decorations especially so you can identify there are multiple baths.

Each is very unique and has its strengths. 

I find this one useful personally for my STR business, as we buy supplies, decor, and even furniture through that program and rack up some free stuff pretty quickly, as you can use the 5% cash back on future purchases on Amazon. 

(IWe've also developed property in Orange County, CA and Bend, OR) We have a very unique set of circumstances here that is driving housing demand.
