We do get an annual to-do list of some nitpicky things from them, but the payment is always on time, even through COVID.

I'll usually go there first to get a baseline and then further refine that with local listings, etc.. 

@Julio Gonzalez I would add profit first for real estate investors to your list of books to read. 

Search for "worst states for landlords" and look at several lists.

My intention is to either wholesale the properties or list them on the MLS.

I intend to invest in a 3 BHK single family rental, around 2000-2500 sq ft and good school district in the Houston suburbs of Cypress, Katy and Sugar Land.Looking to connect with investor friendly agents with knowledge about the region to get an understanding  and initiate conversation.

Feel free to reach out and I will give you the list. 

$6,100 PITI + Maintenance, Cap Ex, & vacancy reserves Versus whatever similar rent would be in the area.If you're okay with this deal not being a homerun initially, but allowing you to live in an ideal location in a nice home with slightly less mortgage cost, then it may be worth it. 

I plan to sign up for a free trial on this platform: https://urlbox.com/screenshot-api After some reading about this, my idea is to: - check which companies are selling in my area and create a visual database of their listings (Zillow); - use automated screenshots for competitor analysis (locations, prices, open houses nearby); - track SERPs - track my progress in different queries to analyze the success of my campaigns;- possibly create visuals for social media/presentations As we all know, it's one thing to read that something is a good idea and another how it is implemented in practice.

Correct, it doesn't initially.
