Once upon a time, I ventured into the realm of real estate with boundless enthusiasm and unwavering determination.

(NASDAQ; SMFNF) embarking on a pioneering venture into tokenization.

I would 100% run these questions through your RE Attorney, but if you're looking to be best protected I would venture to say one property per trust/LLC (however your RE Attorney might suggest this is overkill).

Whether you're a seasoned broker with years of experience, a mentor with invaluable wisdom to share, or an investor just starting and eager to learn, we can all benefit from pooling our resources and knowledge.I envision regular meetups to discuss market trends and investment opportunities and collaborate on joint ventures.

To reduce risks and take advantage of opportunities, modify your investing plan as necessary.Overall, investing in rental properties in the Houston market can be a rewarding venture with the right approach, diligence, and mindset.

@Mark Koontz congrats on your venture and be sure to pay the couple hundred bucks to be part of NARPM.  

Investing in a house hack 1-4 unit in your local market should yield the highest CoC return, especially if you can rent out bedrooms on the side you're living in.If you want to venture out of state, Columbus OH is a great submarket too.

I would venture there is consideration here, because there was value for value - you pulled the rental listing for this new tenant, thus exchanging something of value, and the lease should therefore be enforced. 

I would love to venture out into Tampa, but avoid anything near the bay.

And when you account for appreciation that doesn't appear to be changing in the next few years, you could lose more by waiting a year for the "best deal" instead of paying $10-$20k more right now and starting to save from your house-hacking venture.
