For me, I'm actually doing an online broker class, mainly just for the education before I start investing, since I have zero background in real estate.

They don't charge application fees or security deposits, don't do background checks - they take ANY S8 tenant no matter how bad they are:(You really want Class C and B-minus areas for solid S8 tenants.Let us know what else we can assist you with.

There are services that can help with this, or you can do it yourself by asking for references and running background checks.

not necessarily a new member but Ive been lurking in the background on and off, finally decided to introduce myself. 

Here is some background on the property: Description: 2,100sf(this includes finished basement), 1/4 acre lot, 4 bedroom, 2 bath, garage Info: I bought the house in 2020, the week that the world shut down due to covid and have a rate of 2.99%.

Coming from a background in California law enforcement to now working as a Realtor in Idaho, I'm always amazed to see the justice system support the landlords here because in California we would just wish you luck and walk away.

Then you have to coordinate with different people with little to no professional background or even background checks.

I prefer to operate on stretch goals, my background is in tech startup sales so I love to hustle and I'd rather fail at getting to 500k and get to 350K, than shoot for $300k and work less smart/efficiently or only get to $250k.

How much background knowledge do you have about STRs and why the Houston market?

Background check needed?
