I love the concept and am looking to purchase a home to list on Airbnb but I want to know the rules Houston has before I jump in.

The concept you heard about at REI club is essentially a lease option, which seems to be unacceptable in Texas past 6 months. 

@Allende Hernandez I understand the concept of what they are providing but I'm struggling to see how it's worth it.

I went to a seminar over the weekend (a total scam to sell education, not properties) but was intrigued with the concept of Wholesaling.

@Edward Majesky Sorry your questions doesn't make much sense.But do you have a realtor with access to HUD to make your offers?

@Edward Rangel yes you pay taxes on the net profits of course, but with a rental you also have depreciation deductions etc.

The person who scales the 30K Midwest gig will blow your socal concept out of the water!

@Edward Rhoads I haven't heard of Huntington, I'll have to look into that. 

It's really good for giving you an overview of how different real estate investing approaches work and at least expose you to some of the concepts you will need to learn along the way.If you're looking for a local mentor, I suggest you check out some of the real estate investor meetups around your hometown.

There is a difference between the "Net Zero" and "Passive House" concept.
