Hey @Alex Bush I'll PM you.  @Shawn Harvey I'm sure you've found someone by now but I'm happy to share contacts with you also if you need anyone.

@Norb Schneider I would guess the main reason is timing of posting the rental.  3/2 rentals in The Woodlands, Cypress, Katy, Sugarland etc are dominated by families looking for areas with good schools.   Typically, you get more for rent and rent out your home quickest if you post May/June/July/August.  Making sure the lease ends in the Summer is the smartest option for landlords.

How do those specific homes show in pictures?  Even though The Woodlands is now as being a very high end suburb, they have several pockets of rental dominated neighborhoods (older homes, sqft 1300-1600, rents around 1500).

@Santhosh Niveditha if it happens, of course!  PM me your number.  We can do a group text closer to that time.

Congrats Ryan!  I am excited to follow your journey!

@Trist Baylon oh gotcha!  Yeah up in the Bay for a few years.  My wife and I did travel contracts so we could knock out or student loans.

@Trist Baylon love that you're a medical professional and doing this...so many don't!  I came to TX from working in CA.  My wife is an RN (L&D) and I was working as a PT (still have an active license).  

Of course I should suggest TX, but have you looked at short term rental returns in your area?  It might at least be worth your time to check.  I THINK you should qualify for 10% down if you're doing a short term rental (obviously you could do that in Big Bear too).  Good Luck with everything!!

Hey Erica!  Welcome!  Katy is a great Houston and people are still making money flipping here.  Old Katy, Cimarron, West Memorial, Memorial Parkway, occasionally Nottingham and Williamsburg Settlement are great areas to look at to start.

@Kishen Raghunath hope this link helps!

@Andrea Rivera  I agree with Mark.  If you can tough out your current job while getting your license that seems best.  Also the cash cushion would be great as you build up your client base.

@Rolando Rivera I think that's a brokerage specific question but most places would probably meet with you if you told them you were in the process of getting your license.  You are interviewing them more than them interviewing you (at least that's how I saw it).  While splits are important, I would focus on education and mentorship opportunities early on.  That's what I would ask most about during the interview process.

@Simon Martinez what part of town did you buy in?  I'd love to hear how the numbers look if you're willing to share.
