Houston short term rentals

[Olu Oguntoyinbo]

Hi my name is Olu I’m a new investor that lives in NYC. I’m planning on getting a short term Investment property in Houston texas but I have some concerns due to the fact I live out of state. Is short term profitable in the Houston market and how profitable is it. Also I wanted to ask what tool are being used to know if a property will make sense and bring in profits for short term rental and what area should I focus on with a $250k budget.

Thank you all !
