But in one of our markets a STR homeowner that sold their property a couple months ago, had to pay money to Airbnb for canceled bookings. 

Would you mind sharing your professional opinion on which of these kitchen designs would sell better?

Hi BiggerPockets community,excited to connect with like-minded individuals who are passionate about real estate investing.

I'm trying to start off with something closer to Houston as my first property, but will keep College station in mind for the future. 

other than the constant warnings and warning posts I dont think you can expect BP to be the gate keeper for Guru class's  keep in mind some folks do succeed and the cost of a guru package to them was one of the best things they ever did. 

How strict are the licensing requirements, and are there any recent changes in city or county ordinances to keep in mind?

very high risk even I only do them with very specific investors in mind and a plan. we dont flip land we develop every one. 

I would enjoy meeting other like minded investors in my area.  

With the right PM, you’ll have peace of mind knowing your property is in good hands and generating steady income.Good luck with your search!

My personally favorite spot so far is Ko Olina but I'm open minded.
