I know @Lauren Cutchen is still affiliated with one if not the same from above that she mentioned! There's also on posted on the Events Forum under Space City REI - I'll try to tag you!

With your goal mentioned at the bottom, I would suggest either option 3 or 4. Not 2 for the same reasons @Donald Hatter mentioned actually!

Welcome ro BP, @Arun Maheshwari! Agreed with everyone here - You're headed in a good direction here. Best of luck!

Hi Kevin! Have you connected with @Wale Lawal on here yet? I bet he has a duplex in inventory and will be happy to provide some insight for the Houston market!

Hi Donald! I was raised in Montgomery and grew up in a couple houses on Lake Conroe in different neighborhoods. First of all - Those different neighborhoods would matter in my opinion on desirability for a STR as some are still further out from a lot of the new development and there might be hotels/resorts with great value to them by being closer.

Also - Although that could definitely be a great STR area, I would also look at College Station (parents visiting their college kids, going to A&M games, etc.), or closer to Downtown Houston as there are obviously a ton of attractions bringing travelers here for plenty of reasons.

Lake Conroe can also be a great LTR area, we have a lot there in the Portfolio. Best of luck!!! 

 It's been a tough market for high or maybe any cashflow with decent A/B properties in some parts of Houston, BUT the long-term equity growth is what makes these type of investments very positive in the long-run! We are hoping to see a better market in 2025 with lower rates and hopefully some deduction in property taxes, though. Fingers crossed!! 

I can second that @Wale Lawal is amazing and knows what he's talking about! 

@Jaclyn Cano - Can you email me this info so I can share with an Investor I know looking right now?
