Since you purchased your primary recently and in Houston, I personally am bearish on your appreciation potential.

Here’s what keeps successful house buyers winning (even when deals fall apart):**They don’t get emotionally attached to a deal- A lost deal is not a personal failure.

I’m looking to go all-in on theming, similar to the level of detail you have put into yours.I’ve personally enjoyed staying at Windsor Hills in the past, but removing my bias from the decision to ensure I make the best investment choice.

Call it the organization's personality.

@Kayla ElliottHi Kayla - Personally, I would go with a property management company especially if you want to get out of the weeds of managing your properties, which is a large portfolio! 

I have been to the 3-day and it is a well run event, by professional persons. 

I can provide support of checking in on contractors, staging rental properties, walk potential leads to give you an idea of the property in person or what the area is like, meeting with agents, and drafting scope of work for projects. 

Is there a point of contact person/business that handles all home investor concerns (general contractor, engineer, etc.)

ALSO, You can buy your personal home that is a rehab, fix it up then live there for 2 years.

I personally walked and researched every property prior to investing to understand what I was buying, what could be done to add value and what I should expect in cash flow and appreciation.Learning what makes a good investment for you is absolutely necessary.
