Houston - Short Term AirBnB

[Tejus Patel]

Hello Biggerpockets!

I'm looking to move back home and post my apartment on AirBnB in order to 2x my current rent. Just a bit of background:

Location: Houston TX
Area: Galleria
Rent: $1,673/mo 2 Bed/2 Bath.

I am working to set myself up for corporate housing so I may do these under the current lease.

I've seen this work in a quite a tourist spots in the country like Seattle, SoCal, Boston, Portland, etc.

Question: Is anyone in Houston doing and seeing great profits, and is it possible to scale and have multiple properties in Houston.

@Tejus Patel I personally am not but have talked with a number of successful owners there.  I've spoken to 4+ successful profitable hosts at the Herrin Lofts building alone(right near the soccer stadium).  Many of them were starting to look to scale.  Houston is a terrific market.

However, you need to own the unit, not just be on the list.  All of the successful hosts I have talked to in Houston have been owners.

If you do go down that route, feel free to direct message or call me.  I might have some individuals in the area who might be able to help you out.
