Once your on the ground out here, see if you want to stay, explore where you would want to buy into, etc.Enjoy!

Finally Rutherford County, which I don't know as well, might be worth exploring.

I’ve noticed immediately that guests treat the home you live in and host rooms from very differently than a property you may not see them at all.That said, I had some minor damages ($140) that I asked to be compensated for and Airbnb is not going to cover ANY of this.

I'm down here too and would like to explore them.

My current area is appreciating nicely and I have a decent amount of equity currently which I will possibly explore using at some point to further our rental goals. 

Is it cheaper to buy them at homedepot and then have carpenters yo install it OR you shop in your local window stores?

You've got some of the basics but I would suggest the following:- Internet & TV - Roku Smart TV, Sling TV and Netflix are some options you can explore.- Basic pots & pans for cooking- Coffee maker and filters- Salt & Pepper- Utensils, plates, bowls, cups and glasses, coffee mugs (pyrex is inexpensive and durable)- Cooking utensils like large spoons, spatula and basic cooking knives.- Paper products such as toilet paper, a bag of paper napkins, 1 paper towel roll to start them off.

Hi all -I am looking to explore investing in real estate in Texas. 

Unfortunately that is a lose-lose for landlords: pay for 2 PM's in 1 year or stick with them and they know you're going to fire them at end of contract... 

@Charlie ShewLooks like you some equity in the home you can tap into for some capital.You also have some 401K account balances that you may be eligible to take a loan against for additional capital.These should be enough for down-payments on investment properties.However, I would still continue to educate yourself(read books + listen to podcasts + explore the forums) until you feel comfortable.
