Starting out with STR/AirBNB

[Donald Harrell]

Hello All, 

I am finally taking the jump and beginning my Real Estate Investing career.  I am looking to begin with a townhouse within the Houston 610 loop and use it as an AirBNB.  My thought it to begin with this option, and then move to multi-family units within the year.  

Has anyone started by using this strategy? Are there any areas that are particularly best for STR? I am looking at EaDo, The Heights, South Main, and NRG areas.

Thanks for you help.
