I've flown down and walked the units at Western Way and there is a lot to be desired.

We also tell them that we charge $25 per hole for TV mounts, shelves etc I think that $10 up-front investment has reduced the number of issues by probably 80%.Our walls are textured (sand textured in Milwaukee, orange peel textured in the western suburbs - yes, there is an actual dividing line), so we try to avoid the usual palm-sized patch and fill only the hole without making it bigger, so we can get away without texturing.

A good ol fashion phone call or house visit would probably solve your problem. 

Look into crime maps, and do the old fashioned thing of getting in a car and driving the market if it's not in your back yard.

Partner and I bought our first STR in Western NC.

Out of your list, I suggest the Northern and Western cities you listed (Conroe, Montgomery, and Katy).

Quote from @Mike Pepperday: Does anyone know, or have experience with tiny home short term rentals in the western New York area?

I’m hoping to find more success in Phoenix, but as you stated, the old fashioned way may be my best bet.

In U.S things changes a lot from France and the rest of western Europe.

I'm also in Raleigh and have STRs in Western NC, but ours are closer to Asheville area.
