I have an Airbnb in the Chicago Logan Square area and including winter I would guess I am around 70% occupancy at about $90/night (average way higher in summer and then $90 is the base).I also used another app called price labs to help set the pricing and also your porter to manage -just an FYI in case you were looking into the software.

Hi Everyone,I put in earnest deposit on two new single family constructions - Lennar in Magnolia and The Highlands - Porter by David Weekly (both properties are 3 bedroom)....I am not from Houston area, Can anyone here please tell me if these were wise choices for rental properties?

@Joey Gorombey, I found that local banks will do this for you, vs going to hard money and increasing your risk.

@Dillon Hudson I'd maybe start by looking at properties in Conroe, Tomball, Jersey Village, Humble, Porter, New Caney, Kingwood.

That 20-30% of gross makes it harder to hit your numbers, and there are many tools like Wheelhouse and Your Porter as well as cleaners and handymen that can help you self-manageDon't get angry when guests ruin your property, leading to retaliatory reviews.

@Joey Gorombey  Pre-approval means you've passed the basics for getting the loan. 

@Mariah Porter I am in your market.

@Joey Gorombey as someone new, this is not a bad idea.
