Wanted to check in and make sure this got resolved for you.

Probably smart to take a break a couple of years of this market, I think you are coming back at exactly the right time - on the cusp of the next boom market

It’s a matter of “do we want to live in this area?”

My primary interest lies in the Houston market, but I’m open to exploring other areas as well.So far, I’ve read The Book on Rental Property Investing by Brandon Turner and am currently working through The Book on Managing Rental Properties.

(about $20K in profits) I've developed and perfected a strategy to manage these tenants (and I'm a Hilton/Marriott hotel General Manager so its not difficult for me)The only thing(s) that are in our way from scaling quickly is;1) a consistent unlimited supply of tenants looking to rent bedrooms, 2) a partnership with a rental management company (we arbitrage 50% of our homes)3) I guess some capital but really only depending on how quickly we decide to scale.MyRoom is the name of the company, (lazzarapm.com) anyone have any thoughts, recommendations, suggestions on how to achieve this, FAST?

Our local organizations do a lot - we have representatives meeting with council members, a professional PR firm to help change the narrative on STR's here on the islands, and we're working towards increasing our own lobbying power.

Specifics such as build-out costs and how they were allocated, lease term (5/10 years), NNN vs Gross, etc would be super helpful. 

Is this what happened?

You’ve joined a community rich with knowledge, resources, and people eager to help each other succeed in real estate.

How can I justify this purchase if the rents are this low?"
