Also make sure everyone you interact with knows you buy houses and what type of property you are looking for.

After leaving my job and going full time in real estate is when I really started to kick things into a higher gear and really understand how to leverage real estate to create extraordinary amounts of wealth.

Not only do I tell the people I interact with that I am looking for distressed properties (my focus) but I also tell them that I pay a 1,000 referral fee for any unlisted property that they tell me about that I buy.

I would suggest attending some local meetups, join some Facebook groups and start interacting.

For purposes of this paragraph (e)(3), an activity involving the use of tangible property is not a rental activity for a taxable year if for such taxable year—(A) The average period of customer use for such property is seven days or less;(B) The average period of customer use for such property is 30 days or less, and significant personal services (within the meaning of paragraph (e)(3)(iv) of this section) are provided by or on behalf of the owner of the property in connection with making the property available for use by customers;(C) Extraordinary personal services (within the meaning of paragraph (e)(3)(v) of this section) are provided by or on behalf of the owner of the property in connection with making such property available for use by customers (without regard to the average period of customer use);(D) The rental of such property is treated as incidental to a nonrental activity of the taxpayer under paragraph (e)(3)(vi) of this section;(E) The taxpayer customarily makes the property available during defined business hours for nonexclusive use by various customers; or(F) The provision of the property for use in an activity conducted by a partnership, S corporation, or joint venture in which the taxpayer owns an interest is not a rental activity under paragraph (e)(3)(vii) of this section.

That is very difficult to do in the best cases and even harder to do remotely.I'm an advocate a hybrid approach for remote ownership; using a local PM for the on the ground stuff but owning all of the guest interactions via the app.

I am also part of a full scale co-living management team that assists with property evaluations, Co-living training, acquisitions, setup construction, tenant interactions, and property management. 

I can provide you with an interactive map that meticulously outlines which streets allow for student rentals, offering clarity and ease in navigating the local regulations.With house prices and interest rates on the rise, coupled with the university's expansion, rental rates are experiencing a corresponding increase, ensuring a favorable outlook for investors.

This broadens your knowledge and gives you the chance to interact with like-minded people.Look for mentors with real estate investing experience in the Houston region.

I'm excited to be here and to interact & learn from all of you!
