Hi @Ata Ahmad!
I am not familiar with Houston, so I cannot help you with recommendations there. For turnkey, I purchased my first property working with a turnkey provider and I was very satisfied with the experience and am still satisfied after just over a year of owning the property (see post below for more details). I am currently saving capital for my next investment and I plan to go turnkey for that property as well.
Best Wishes!
