For a more social group, try Vancouver Real Estate Investors meetup.

I go to networking events, I'm on websites such as thumbtack, working on SEO and reviews to appear higher on Google , have posted flyers in parking lots, and am currently building up the social media pages. 

social media analysis seems to indicate that buyers would live non HOA communities but builders don't seem to care.

One potential advantage is to elect to have the operating LLC taxed as a corporation, which is taxed at a flat 21% rate (although if dividends are paid out they are additionally taxed) or an S corporation, where net income is “passed thru” to you individually but no social security or Medicare tax is due.  

FYI - with all the social media choices, all you have to do is make a plan to post the same message across numerous platforms.- You can even recycle the messages annually or quarterly!

Do those of you who are loan officers need to call the Secretary of State to verify who created an LLC before you lend, or do you accept the documentation within the corporate binder of the LLC as evidence of who currently owns the LLC?

Made initial offer which was not accepted.

If I tried that here I would probably lose 75% of my showings, and that would probably ensnare most of the people that eventually became my tenants.We price to market and have a decent number of showings, and just accept that showing it to some people who aren't going to cross the finish line is part of the process. 

Quote from @Michael Baum: Hey @Sushil Gupta, important statementCity No Longer Accepting Applications for Non-Hosted STRs:To apply for a Hosted STR, the property owner must live and sleep on the property, and the property must be the owner’s principal residence (where the owner resides for more than one-half of the year)So unless you plan to live in the place you are short term renting, Santa Rosa is a no go.https://www.srcity.org/3625/Short-Term-Vacation-Rentals one might try Guerneville or Monte Rio  area that is geared towards tourists..

The threat of large losses arising from liability has alot to do about your area, the court system and the prevailing political and social environment.
