In an age where the trend is mobile phones, social media and networking via REIA are multiple lines easy to manage?

Do some light staging as well (maybe some flowers on a table, nice soap dispenser and trendy towel in the bathroom, etc). 

I also like that there are a couple "trendy" areas, that are leading the charge in bringing people (like my wife and I) out of the burbs and back into the city.

Sometimes I wonder if applicants give out fake reference number...The new applicants say they will clean and maintain the property every day for their guest and to maintain their Superhost status and it will have less wear and tear since all the rooms won't be occupied all the time throughout the year.I have a newly remodeled three bedroom/three bathroom unit in the middle of very trendy Los Angeles neighborhood (no rent control) it's a perfect location for hosting on Airbnb, I thought of hosting myself but didn't want to add any additional working hours to my current full-time job so I made a request to Airbnb co-hosting program and that's how I came in contact with the current applicants.  

May not be trendy for millenials but just solid families that pay on time and take care of my houses.

When I look at investment properties I look at cashflow and its appreciation potential and make my decision based on that, but with primary residences its a bit different.My last house that I purchased, I could have bought a larger home with a lot more rooms, in less expensive area and had my mortgage paid for that way, but I chose to purchase in more trendy/expensive area with less room.

The Houston Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) has consistently ranked among the top MSAs in the country for population growth over the past 10 years, and this trend is expected to continue.

They aren't as trendy and therefore don't end up looking "80s" or whatever the new faux pas is 5 or 10 years after you buy it.

There are options at that price that are in decent areas and/or safe, but they are boring and far from anything trendy. $70k puts you in the range of a 1-bedroom condo in a desirable area but you'll have to search hard. 

Tends to attract a younger /trendy crowd.
