Hi there, fellow property managers.

I have been previously using TurboTenant to manage my own investment properties but am now going to be expanding my property management business to include managing other people's investment properties as well. (I do have my broker's license.) I am looking for advice about whether to switch to a management software that will generate monthly financial reports for my owners or whether to stick with TurboTenant and generate these reports myself through another software. 

What you have you had success with?

Note, I won't have a lot of doors - this would be managing approximately 10 single family homes.

Thank you for any insight!

At least 4 or more bedrooms, ideally 5 bedrooms plus bonus spaces and outdoor living plus pool.

Hi, BPers!

I'm interested in purchasing an investment property in Texas that could be an "escape house" for our family of 10 and occasional vacation spot for us. This would be a 4 or 5 bedroom home that would be furnished high end and sleep at least 12. For those who live in Texas or have regional knowledge:

(1) Where would you recommend buying?

(2) What areas would be the best locations for families (or groups) with fun activities nearby?

(3) We have looked a fair amount in The Woodlands, Spring, Magnolia, but The Woodlands might not allow the property to be used as a ST rental (so that seems risk) and I don't see a lot of other STRs in Spring or Magnolia, so maybe those just aren't popular vacation spots?

(4) Is a STR just a bad idea right now?

Thank you for any and all help for this newb!
