Quote from @John Brown: I have a friend with a property in a very desirable location in Texas that I believe would be great for STR.

Would love to connect with investor friendly real estate agents, other wholesalers, and cash buyers.Looking forward to meeting all of you!

I rented out the additional bedrooms to friends and family, charging them well below market, and sold when it was time for my wife and I to start our own adventures.

Lyons was a family name and I guess my email entry form set up my user name slightly.

@Kasey Hardt very interesting,  didn't realize this was a pattern but even I've got friends that are getting recruited to the area for medical device startups etc, so could be a very interesting trend to watch.

My experience with friends/some clients is get their numbers via whatever method you can and reach out via the phone.

Do you build it with the intention of renting it or just for family/friend use?

A friend of mine had a similar journey - they turned their old home into a rental property and soon realized they loved managing tenants and exploring ways to add value.

I think one of the biggest analysis paralysis thoughts is on landlord- or tenant-friendly areas.
