From what I've heard from other investors, Andrea Keelin is great for STRs. 806-678-8441

This is an affluent neighborhood with a lot of nice large, older homes. It's near a small community college which really doesn't have sororities/frats. I recommend you call a local agent or broker to give you a better lay of the land so you understand the challenges/opportunities in this area. I would add that SFH airbnb market here is saturated BUT I believe there is still a robust market for larger homes for family gatherings and events.

Hi Carressa! I run the REIG in Amarillo. Please post the deal on the Amarillo REIG facebook page.

Also, I will add investors in the group have met and 'dated', formed partnerships and have done deals together. I have a facebook page as well where a lot of deals have been listed and sold.

It has worked out very well! I'm still running the Amarillo REIG today. The structure is quarterly meetings with a speaker - having each of the 4 meetings on a different topic. (This month's speaker is a Real Estate Attorney.) $25/person cost which includes food & drinks. I have a sponsor provide the food and they have a small window of time to introduce their business/service. 

The months in-between quarterly meetings I schedule happy hour meet ups at a local restaurant/bar. Once a year I do a Cashflow Board Game night. Attendance for the events is around 40+. We have a good core group of about half that number and the rest are usually investor newbies or 1st time attenders. 

It's not a money maker for me. But by far the best thing about it has been the relationships I've made through the years. The challenge has been stepping out of my comfort zone to lead these and also coming up with topics and finding speakers. Finding sponsors and venues has been the easy part.

Hey Billy, thanks for your service! I run the REIG in Amarillo and I know the guy that runs the one in Lubbock. Give me a shout if you want to connect, or if you want his contact info!

It's confusing when you look at a map to understand what is considered north texas and west texas. But Amarillo, which is the High Plains region, is indeed called West Texas even though it looks more like north Texas on the map. And yes, Dallas is actually North Texas - the North Central Plains.

I can do it if I'm around. It's what I do anyway! :D

Hey Clint, how many properties do you need watched? I recommend you find another landlord/investor you can trust to handle them for you. Then you can reciprocate the next time he/she leaves town. I've got a deal like that I do with a friend of mine.
