Seeking insight from the community on converting a STR (primarily Airbnb) to long-term rental.

Looking to find which neighborhoods will give you the highest rental yield? 

@Chase AlexanderRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

I came across some critical information today that I think is important to share with you:In the aftermath of the LA fires, it has become evident that some homeowners’ insurance claims have been denied or disputed because the property title was held in a trust, but the insurance policy was under the individual homeowner’s name.This serves as a valuable reminder to review your insurance policies and ensure that the ownership structure on your property title matches the named insured on their policy.

My tough today is different than my tough next week.Many new(er) investors struggle to manage their rentals well.

Key is to not grow to fast and have $ set aside as it's never as fast or profitable as you think when getting started where in Texas are you looking to be a GC?
