@Anna Phillips there's an awesome monthly meetup in Saratoga hosted by @Allison Keib.

@Eric Salgado to be upfront I'm a licensed Realtor but work full-time as an Investor & Contractor so my license is mostly for investing & side work.But I would be happy to answer any questions you may have, I host a monthly New Haven Meet-up as well Best,Ryan

My favorite part of attaining a listing is hosting open houses to meet more buyers... they're shopping for homes and wanting someone to help them find/buy one, aka a paycheck waiting to get cashed. 

There's also a great monthly meetup hosted by @Justin Eaton and @Kevin Santos you should check out.

Your host is giving you caution, in these uncertain times.

It's also possible that your out of area investments will not pan out as you expect them to for a host of reasons. 

Therefore, I wanted to come on here to get views from hosts, co-hosts, and STR property managers in the Houston area.

I'm an Airbnb Super Host and have all 5 star reviews.

Recommendations on hosting, or designers and so on?

My team, Candor Realty Group took on most of the responsibilities but we did partner up on some tasks from members of the monthly meetup we host, which is now virtual.
