Sounds like great event @Melanie McDaniel! Looking forward to chatting real estate, and hearing about your travels. 👍🏻

@Dave Chapa that’s awesome to hear! Glad to know I’m not the only one with this idea. Do you think he’d be open to you putting us in contact? I’d love to buy him lunch and learn more about his process.

@Shelby LeBlanc Makes sense. Gonna start scouring and see if I can find some HOA's that are RV friendly and start driving for dollars in those neighborhoods. That's a great point on having an age-cutoff for RV's to keep things looking tidy. I'd hate to become the eye-sore of a community. I'll check out the old Cypress area, that's fairly close to where I'm at right now. 👍🏻

@Joseph Cacciapaglia, that sounds awesome! Please do drop us a link to your Youtube videos, and keep us updated on your progress. 👍🏻

Thanks for the Tag @Matthew Rolf! I am indeed interested, and would love to connect @V. Adams. I've not built one yet, but I've been eyeing them for a while, and am in the process of researching zoning and permitting in the Houston area.

Hey @Shelby LeBlanc, thanks for the feedback I hadn't thought of the HOA's, but that's a fantastic point. I have heard that they can have notoriously strict covenants. Is there a centralized hub for HOA covenants in/around Houston, or will researching them be an address-by-address affair?

Could you elaborate on Houston not being RV friendly? Granted I haven't seen many RV's parked around, what kinds of factors make it not a great place for them?

Thanks!

Yo! My wife and I just moved to Houston, and are excited to get involved with the RE scene here!

TL;DR: We want to BRRRR a SFR on a large enough lot to put in a drive and 1-5 RV parking pads to increase cashflow, and give us a place to park our RV). Main questions are about zoning and land-use regulations. I know Houston's notorious for being lax with it's zoning (a very good thing in my book, but I feel a bit lost pouring over the county and city code books trying to figure out what restrictions we need to take into consideration. Anyone have experience with RV's and SFR's in Harris County?

Slightly longer version: We're full-time RVers, and have always liked the lifestyle. When we got to Houston I was surprised by how comparatively few small MFR properties were on the market (or even just in existence as I drove neighborhoods), so we shifted our focus to SFR, and wanted to get one that could accommodate our 36' RV. In doing so it dawned on me that if one will fit, we could probably get 2-3 more and rent the pads out by the month, either to RV's or even Tiny Homes (which I also love).

I started going through the city and county code books, but RV's seem to always fall in a gray-area. I know I can park up to a 36' RV on my own property, but couldn't figure out if having more than one (or a financial agreement with other people), would technically bump me into a travel-trailer park category or something. I'm open to doing additional utility connections to the city/county, or leaving it single. I'm in NW Houston (very near the Loop), and willing to move basically anywhere west of DT (I work in the Galleria area). So if you all have any experience with renting RV's or TinyHomes.

Thanks!

Dude @Mike Reynolds, seriously nice buildout, and exhaustive photo coverage to boot! Thanks so much for sharing that link. Hoping to build a tiny-home myself in the next 2-5 years.

Hey @Christopher Williams, I’m new to Houston (NW just outside the loop), and would love to network and share goals. Want to grab coffee Saturday or Monday afternoon?

Hey @Anthony Holloway! Are you planning to make the move to Houston, or invest remotely? I'm in the process of moving to Houston (likely the wests side), and would love to connect. I have a couple other pro's in the area that I've met with that I could also connect you with.

Cheers,
