@Michelle MayfieldI am a real estate agent and investor in Houston, TX.Katy, Cypress, Spring, some parts of Houston, Conroe, Tomball, Pearland are great markets.These cities tend to command quality tenants, and they have great schools.Get in touch with a local agent or investor and shorten your learning curve and save you a lot of headaches as they tend to understand the market better.All the best!

During my most recent renewal, my carrier changed the language to "additional interest".

We all make mistakes and need to learn from them.I made a similar mistake and did it with decades of ground up development experience.I was building my private residence.

You learn more from people when you provide them value. 

It's fantastic that you're eager to begin this journey, and connecting with local investors is a great way to learn and build a supportive network.

We have learned the hard way if there is a problem, we need a paper trail and it's much easier to resolve with Airbnb that way.

I'm committed to connecting, learning, and finding paths to grow within the BiggerPockets family.

Although some have value you don't need to spend thousands of dollars to learn to set up a direct booking site.- Rental Agreements - You'll need guests to sign rental agreements and upload a photo of their ID. 

I remember learning in college economics where the supply curve meets the demand curve that is the optimal price point for maximum revenue :)

Thanks  for anyone who takes the time to respond, I am trying to make moves and learn at the same time so any help will greatly be appreciated.
