Anyone familiar with rental mgmt companies in and around greater Houston area (TX) that are investor friendly and can recommend to help me market, screen and place qualified tenants?

In one case they used a notary at the local US consulate.

This is my first investment, and I've learned a lot from this experience so far, and I'm ready to keep moving forward with new projects.I am interested in investing locally in Denton County and the surrounding counties.

If you watch the market every day for a couple weeks, you'll quickly learn what is renting and what is sitting on the market.

Any insights on rental demand, tenant turnover, or local regulations?

Hi Brett - local PM here - we have a few development projects, small multifamily and tonwhouses that we are gearing up for sale in the next 6 months.

I'll give you some numbers for the MTRs we manage in Los Angeles.1-2 bedroom MTRs stays are 1-3 months3+ bedroom MTRs stays are 3-6 months, but often start less than 3 months and extend their stayMTR marketing falls in 2 buckets.

You're better off self managing or going with a local company with boots on the ground.

In many markets section 8 is higher than market rate. and investors need that extra return to mitigate the risk of sec 8 tenants generally speaking.
