Side notes: These are single plane windows that I was budgeting to replace in 2018.

Somethings are better handled if you leverage them out, I think real estate is best form of leverage, besides using a pilot to fly a plane for you :-) Questions to Ask prospective management companies:1.How many properties do the owners actually own themselves?

@Tom Parris we had planed on putting in a ceramic tile of some sort in this rental, I dont know about the wood look tile because of the type of rental such as @Linda D. had mentioned about the type of property/area it is in. 

If it's a place that most visitors travel to via plane you'll get hit pretty hard during a downturn.

@Ali Boone I am not going to lie, flying planes and doing rentals!

I have no issues getting on a plane to walk the area with knowledgeable professionals.In anticipation of your questions:  I am looking to put $75K down.  

However, I'd recommend to use PB rental property calculator if you are planning  to keep the property, or flip calculator if you're planing to sell.  

As of now, the flood maps don't show the majority of the community in the 100/500 flood plane and ft. bend county is NOT requiring remediation before rebuilding.  

We will need to take your plane though considering mine is in the shop (just kidding, I don't have one).

@Sarah T. depends on your real estate goals. if investing is something you plan to take seriously I would highly recommend you start studying both markets to see what underlining pros and cons you may face with future investing. unless your planing to be a absentee landlord. from my experience most small businesses fail when the owner is absent and real estate is a business like many others you have to be present for things to get done correctly.
