Sure placing an ad on social media will get you a lead here and there but I bet these leads will eventually turn to Google to check out their options.

However I wouldn't bet TOO much on appreciation.

This may sound a bit strange because I am a real estate broker as well, and I do enjoy getting paid my commissions, but your best bet is to deploy some type of marketing to attract the motivated sellers for the types of properties you'd like to purchase

Low occupancy is my focus (i.e. if i buy a SFR for airbnb in Atlanta, where is my best bet?)

The odds that randomly three people who just happened to work with PIP, joined the site the same day, stumbled upon this post, and found it to be the only thread worth contributing to is statistically    .    .    .   

This is not about guessing, it is about knowing values and making sure the odds are strongly in your favor.

If it was medical and most actually are medical, then when the bankruptcy is discharged, they can't file again for 7 or 8 years so they are now a pretty safe bet.

I bet they both will cover most of what you really need.  

Best bet with Trenton is tbh- Section 8 tenants at least the money is a little bit better- TBH somebody always needs a place to live and I look at it as someone is always going to get paid for it - Most landlords in Trenton I know are holding the property until the value is goes up - If it really becomes too much look into property management companies, also with the criminal vs. bad credit (I  know its lesser of 2 evils ) maybe have tenants with bad credit submit a letter of explanation maybe it can help weed out even more potential bad tenants -

I have not done this, but I bet you was the landlord insurance to cover you for the homeowner/landlord piece... and then they for sure want renters insurance but I would think that may be a bit redundant for you to obtain as well.
