New to the Houston REI space and looking for recommendations on popular, recurring meet-ups around the greater Houston area. 

I learn better by discussion and would like to be able to network, does anyone know if there is a Rochester MN real estate investing type meet up?

We always have a huge turnout and you can meet other real estate investors. 

Hi Iman,You’re thinking along the right lines—adding a short-term rental (STR) can be a great tax strategy even if you don’t meet the full real estate professional (REP) requirements.

They've had two meetings so far and the turnout was pretty good.

Hope to see you around in Cincinnati and maybe catch you at a local real estate investor meet up! 

Same for 2-years of job/income stability.Tenant Default: 10-20% probability of eviction or early lease termination.Section 8: Class C rents usually meet program requirements, proper screening still recommended.Vacancies: 10-20%, depending on market conditions and tenant screening.Cashflow vs Appreciation: Should cashflow immediately, at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.Class D Properties:Tenant Pool: Majority of FICO scores under 560, little to no good tradelines, lots of collections & chargeoffs, but should have no convictions/evictions in last 12 months.

Now, you're hoping that just because you showed up here, everyone is automatically going to give you their best contacts - so your first investment is smooth sailing.That's unlikely to happen.All the experienced players here, have put in a lot of resources building their teams.

Some think collecting your for you rent automatically earns them 10%.

Curious if there any local REI meetups near Wellington, Fl. Palm Beach County?
