Bulls small forward DeMar DeRozan was a four-time all-star when he was with the Toronto Raptors. But when he came to Chicago this season after a lackluster few years in San Antonio, many fans and analysts were skeptical the 13-year veteran could still bring it. So far, the haters have been proven wrong. DeRozan has played a key role in bringing the Bulls back to life, especially as a leader for an otherwise young team. K.C. Johnson has been following the Bulls for more than three decades, and he explains how DeRozan's career has made him hungry for success in Chicago. Guest:  K.C.

In Texas, where just 58 percent of the state is fully vaccinated, hospitalizations have risen dramatically -- by 80 percent in some cities like San Antonio. Amna Nawaz reports.

According to the Brackenridge Park Conservancy, the proposed renovations aim to make the Sunken Garden Theater “a more functional event venue for all the citizens of San Antonio.”

Key Talking Points The best thing you can do as an owner is leaving Edgar (26 years old) joined a coaching group- going to the next level, providing solutions and networking. Started as a technician, dove into training, and had the goal to be the shop foreman. If you don't have a plan of action to achieve the goal it will continue to just be a goal without reaching it.  Structure- store director- oversee the entire shop, lead service advisor, production director- shop workflow, and shop foreman. Moving from in training to store director-  Interviewing Edgar- he was moving from corporate to independent, John saw desire and passion.  Leaders continuing their own training and education- leaders are readers. You can't expect your employees to pursue training for themselves if you don't do the same.  Disagreements need to be honest and transparent- blind spots happen  Opening the second location- brand recognition from store 1, involved in community events and chamber meetings, placed new business where existing customers were living. Challenges- not knowing what you don't know even with a successful first shop. Documented the challenges for store 2 to remember for store 3.  Brainstorming for the future- the next ‘big thing' is making what you have work better and more efficient.

There's nothing like watching your favorite sports team live and in-person. The roar of the crowd. The smell of the concession stand. The suspense of the game clock winding down to its final seconds. But would you have guessed that behind every ticket purchase, box of cracker jacks, and Jumbotron moment, there are teams of data professionals working to make your fan experience even more seamless and engaging?Joining Cindi today to discuss the data and analytics powering our favorite sports events are Jay Riola, the SVP of Strategy & Innovation for the Orlando Magic, and Charlie Shin, the VP of Data Strategy and Analytics for the Indianapolis Colts. With perspectives from both the NBA and the NFL, Jay and Charlie explore the evolution of mobile ticketing, challenges with identity management, the importance of building fan trust, and the most surprising insights they've ever discovered within their data. Key TakeawaysCustomers expect more for their data: When customers share their data, they expect something in return. Respecting their privacy and keeping their data safe are the bare minimum. They expect real, tangible value. As a business, your responsibility is to use this data to enhance their experience. Whether that be through custom offers, more relevant content recommendations, or more seamless purchasing experiences, what matters most is that you're delivering on the expectation of value.Collecting data is one thing, putting it together is another: While technologies like mobile payments and social media have made it easier for businesses to collect data, they've also added complexity to the process of building accurate customer profiles. To truly understand the person on the other side of the screen, you must have the right skills and infrastructure to bring all that data together. Great data scientists need to be a triple threat: It is no longer enough to be very good at the technical components of your job and “so-so” at translating insights into actionable recommendations for business stakeholders. The best data scientists have technical chops, a deep understanding of how their business works, and the storytelling skills to turn insights into influence.Key QuotesCharlie:“In sports, they started off by focusing on the product, which is the on-field performance, our players. So a lot of the emphasis was using datas to optimize their investments, enhance their quality of on-field performance. But as the competition grew… now we've seen a shift where the focus is more on the customers and their experience in addition to the on-field quality.”“Identity management is a key topic in sports at this point… We have a variety of different data sources, whether it's ticketing, merchandising, digital engagement, or website or apps, there's a lot of information that's coming through. And then we're trying to figure out how do we tie all this together so that we have that clear understanding of that single view of our customers across these touchpoints. And I don't think this is just a sports industry challenge, right? I think it's a challenge across all industries that manage consumer information.”Jay:“We were a pretty early adopter of variable ticket pricing and thinking about the value from a ticket perspective of our games differently based on the team that we were playing, the time of the year, whether it was early in the season versus later in the season, obviously weekday versus weekend, but just recognizing that the marketplace values these games differently and so should we... Then it became, how do we dynamically price our tickets? How are we changing pricing as we approach games to reflect the demand situation that we have or if an opponent is performing better or worse than we expected, and we can raise or lower pricing. I think where data is really helping guide us… is product development and thinking about ticketing in new and kind of transformational ways.”“We have seen significant growth in ticketing revenue and improvement in retention of fans, as we've introduced this more sophisticated way of thinking about pricing and sales to our business. And I would venture to guess that most teams that have implemented this are seeing returns as well in terms of revenue growth and also total ticket sold.”“We are fortunate to work in an industry where fans are more willing to share their data with us… But I do think that the same expectations do come along, which is I'm giving you something and in return, there's an expectation, obviously that you will protect my data and store it safely… but also that now you're going to enrich my experience with you somehow… I think it's kind of shifting responsibility to companies to be far more active in how they think about not just security and data management, but returning value on that expectation that will come from your fans and your consumers.”About CharlieCharlie Shin is a highly analytical customer strategy and marketing executive with global and domestic experience in data analytics, strategic planning, project management, customer segmentation, customer relationship management, and KPI management. He excels at guiding enterprise data strategy, CRM initiatives, and organization-wide marketing technology infrastructure.Prior to joining the Colts, Charlie was a VP of Strategy & Analytics at MLS for past 15 years where he developed the foundation and enhanced league-wide data strategy, analytic capabilities and CRM technology infrastructure.

Welcome to another episode of The Remote Real Estate Investor. I'm Michael Albaum and today I'm joined by Ariana and Larry White. And they're gonna be talking to us today both about the long term and short term rental markets out in Houston and Galveston, Texas. So let's get right into it.   Ariana and Larry White, thank you both so much for joining me today. I really appreciate you taking the time.   Ariana: Yeah.   Larry: Pleasure to be here, man.   Michael: I'm so excited. You two are kicking butt in the short term rental space out in the Houston and Galveston markets. And I'm wondering if you can give our listeners just a really quick background on who you two are as power couple.   Ariana: Oh, power couple. Wow, that's nice.   Larry: Crazy. Yeah. All right, Jay Z and Beyonce over here.   Michael: That's it.   Ariana: But you're Beyonce, and I'm Jay Z!   So um, so my name is Ariana. I've been a real estate agent for eight years. And I originally started in Vegas, I managed a team out there. Larry drags me to Houston, and actually took like a year off of real estate while I got my license here. And now I manage a team out in Houston. And so we specialize primarily in first time homebuyers and investors. And now going deep into the short term rental market.   Michael: Awesome. Love it. And Beyonce. I mean, Larry?   Larry: Yeah. And so I have a little bit different. I started about 1516 years ago, and convinced her to get into real estate, about halfway through my career. And so I've been a pretty successful solo agent, ran some very large teams grew a national real estate brokerage around foreclosures and REOs, which took me into the investor space to begin with. And so now we really have some of the most successful groups of Realtors across the country that we teach to duplicate what we did. And we focus and Ariana has a very successful team here in Houston. And as she mentioned, we're actually in the short term rental space personally. And so we're teaching other people, you know, investors that come to us quite often teaching them how to kind of duplicate what we've done and learn from our mistakes as well.   Michael: Oh, my God, amazing. Well, we are going to have a lot of fun with this episode. I can't wait to hear about what you two are doing personally, in the short term rental space. But to kick things off, I would love to just get a high level overview of the Houston and kind of Galveston markets. Ariana, as you see them, like what should investors What do investors need to know if I'm totally unfamiliar with those markets?   Ariana: Yeah, so Houston is really interesting, because we're one of the only cities where there is no zoning in Houston.   Michael: So multi family, commercial single family, there's no…   Ariana: Whatever you want.   Michael: A whole smorgasbord.   Ariana: Yes, and it changes as it goes out into the suburbs. But um, what's really every street is different in Houston. And there's certain little, little neighborhoods that have been, you know, people have moved in and fixed up old homes, and it's really developed, each little area of Houston has really developed its own adorable community. And I will say that the most, for the most part, my investors typically end up being either somewhere around the Med Center, which is a community here it is full of like young professional renters. And there many people in grad school, you have ages down there, Rice University is down there. And there's lots of young professionals that are all working in the hospitals. And so that area is a big area for renters and very high rents, and that is located in the heart of Houston.   And also, one of the biggest areas that we're currently seeing is the Spring Tomball Humble. It's looks like humble, you pronounce it Um, okay, so, um, that neighborhood, the all of those neighborhoods, and great low tax rates, that's going to be like the major. That's the key piece. You're looking for a low tax rate in Texas, because property taxes can fluctuate a lot. Yeah. And all of those areas seem to have like young, single family homes that are consistently rented and low property taxes, which is a double win. So those are up and coming areas. Right now we're seeing a lot of our investors kind of go towards   Michael: Love it.   Larry: And then on the you know, it shifts a little bit when you start getting into the short term rental market, right? Because the taxes, I mean, you always want the lowest taxes. But if you are able to, you know, they talk about in real estate, location, location, location, right. So if you have a high demand because your next Minute Maid Park, because you're in Galveston, and it's a beach destination, not just for people coming in from out of town, but from people in Houston going and renting beach houses and stuff, their taxes can be offset that way. And so that's where you start getting into what is the drive? What is the demand? And like, what are our occupancy ratios, you know, for the entire month.   And so that's where you start looking at seasonality and what's driving traffic, are there sporting events, or they're this or they're that. And that's where a lot of our investors can start buying maybe a little bit more expensive properties, right, like, maybe they go down to Edo, which is kind of East downtown, which is one of the top four markets and neighborhoods. And if you were doing a long term rental, it wouldn't make sense, it has high tax rates, you have to minimum prices, probably around 430. And it probably only rents for $3,000 a month. So most of the time, that's not going to pencil out for a long term.   But you switch that to a short term, that it's close proximity to everything, and you can get three or $400 that night, and it's occupied 50% of the month, you start doing those, those numbers and you're like, Oh, hold on, this makes sense. So this is really where, you know, when you're looking at an investor, what is your strategy? What is your goal this year, and then we try and create a portfolio or a plan that aligns with their goals. And the numbers will tell us if we're on the right track or not.   Michael: I love it. I love it. So and I think this is great, the conversation kind of naturally bifurcated into the long term side and the short term side, which is I think exactly where I want to take it anyhow. So getting back to the long term side for just a minute. And then I wanted to back to the short term side. What should people be aware of in terms of like, big companies that are headquartered out there? Like, why are people moving to the Houston Galveston area? And then for the short term side? Why are they visiting the area? I know you mentioned the beach, but curious to know, what other attractions are drawing people to the area?   Ariana: Yeah, so in Houston, and what's real, we have seen what I'm lovingly referring to as the great migration. So we have had a lot of people move here from out of state, their number one draw is low cost of living, right, much lower than many other states that we're going to see either on the East Coast or on the West Coast. And, and what people are really looking for, and what I'm seeing mostly is, um, they're having, like the biggest draw is space. And we see a lot of people moving here from like, very populated areas. And granted, you can get a city feel here, but you can also go 30 minutes out and have an acre of land if you want to and have a full garden and farm and some cows like I mean, and you can have all kinds of tax exemptions, too.   So if for any of our military clients, you get a huge tax tax exemption, particularly if you're a disabled vet, you have a homestead exemption here for property taxes. If this is your main living area, you can also have a senior citizen tax exemption. So Texas is really they love tax exemption. So a lot of our clients will use them.   To draw that's a huge draw to Texas, people are looking for a little bit more space to either like a personal or business. I'm out here. short term rental wise in Galveston area. We have Moody Gardens. It's the closest beach the water's warm, and it's like a really great place to go take young like children because it doesn't get super deep. And   Larry: Yeah, the NASA you have the space center, right and so all of that starts to come into play, which gives you a pretty good occupancy. And what we've seen during kind of this pandemic, right is that people have been wanting to get away and have more staycations and stuff as well. So you know when we get into our we have a short term rental we have a 20 acre ranch out in Fredericksburg and we saw our vacancies like drop drastically because everybody was able to work from home. So as long as we had a decent Wi Fi, they were like, Well, man, why don't I go out in Texas wine country, you know, versus my house and let's go on and the kids can go play outside and do this.   So it you know, the market is changing, and we just have to keep stepping along with it. And the customers will tell us exactly what they're looking for.   Ariana: Yeah, I actually had a client today call me today. She's gonna be moving here from California. And she's a nurse. And she's like, and I was like, you know, what's your timeline look like? When do you want to be here, and she said, You know, I can really move anytime I'm just planning on flying back. She's in the Bay Area in California. And she's like, I'm just planning on flying back to work. And then I'll live in Texas,   Michael: She's gonna commute.   Ariana: Mm hmm. And that was a very common thing that we see. So if you're able to remote work, or maybe you don't have to be in the office only, like one or two days a week, people are just buying a little, you know, having a little studio wherever they are based out of renting that out when they're not they're coming back living their main life in Texas and doing you know, flip flopping the opposite. So yeah, so it's, it's provided a lot of this new way of looking at how to be efficient in your workforce has provided a lot of opportunities for a lot of people, as well, in their, you know, in looking looking at your business in a different way.   Michael: Oh, that's incredible. Gonna be racking up those frequent flyer miles for sure. Yeah. That's awesome. So Arianna, you were mentioning a couple of the neighborhoods up and coming neighborhoods? Yeah. That you were seeing curious if you can give everyone listening and watching an idea of kind of price points. And what you mean when you say low taxes?   Ariana: Yes. Okay. So taxes here in Texas can range differently depending on every every little city has a different tax rate. And so we're known for having our property taxes be a little bit higher than some other states. And so that was definitely something that we have to consider when you're going into an investment property, right, the taxes can either make you or break you. And so when we're looking at properties that we're submitting to Roofstock, and for our investors, I am looking specifically for areas that have lower tax rates, because those are the ones that are giving us our best ROI. So one city here is Missouri City, it's south of the heart of Houston. And that city has notoriously low tax rates, which is great. It's also like a high, it's not a city feel. And it is a suburbia field. So there's lots of single family residences there. That area typically commutes to Houston for work. So there's lots of renters in that area. We've seen great success there.   And Rosenberg, Tomball, Spring, and Humble. Those are all of those areas have had really low tax rates in certain pockets and have given our investors like a really good opportunity to get a home up there.   Larry: And also what you're seeing is that Houston is expanding, right? If you look at from Dallas, to Houston over to Austin, San Antonio is called the Texas triangle. Okay, it's the fastest growing region in the country. And so what happened? What's happening? You have Dallas expanding, you have Austin, San Antonio, expanding, you have Houston expanding? And so everything's kind of like merging together together. Yeah. Uh huh. And so these suburbs, right, like, especially when you start getting this increase in prices, you know, people start going outside of the metro area, because the metro area, the median price point might be 400 500, etc. Now they can move out and pay 200 300 and get, you know, just a lot more bang for your buck.   And so those cities that that she's talking about there are starting to see that and so they're still have a lot of population, a lot of people going to them, you have the difference in the prices, which could help you drastically if you're in that long term rental space.   Michael: Totally. And what are some of those medium price points and associated rents that you'd expect to see in some of these markets?   Ariana: So for the suburbia area of Houston, and what I'm typically seeing median price points, you can find a for the ideal property, right? The ideal property is a four bedroom. Single Story, maybe two story home, two and a half bath. And right now we're seeing those rents typically, well, we're seeing those sales, typically between 280,000 to 400,000, depending on the community, somewhere in that I just got one of my Roofstock investors into a new home community actually, this one particular new home community, a lot of 10% investors. And so we were one of the last homes to get in there. And he bought a beautiful four bedroom, two and a half bath in a great neighborhood brand new home. And he got that one for 330. And so that was yeah, it was it was a great, great deal. And we're expecting to rent it out for right around $3,000.   Michael: Holy smokes. I mean, you're just flirting with that 1% rule.   Ariana: Yes, we're right. We can get like right in there. If I get like one person, I get really super excited. So we're like, right there.   Michael: Yeah, awesome. Well, something I think people like either fail to recognize or don't want to recognize is like, you might not buy it at 1%. But in five years, it could absolutely be a 1% property and all your expenses should remain relatively unchanged or increased slightly. But if your rent can outpace your expense increase, you got to meet in the shade.   Larry: Yeah. And here's one of the things for Texas, specifically that you have to think about in 2008. And nine, the market got crushed, right. I mean, we like we came from Las Vegas, we saw homes depreciate 60 to 70%. Yeah, right, like just crush, you did not see that same price depreciation here in Texas for a reason, right? You also didn't see it go up 90%, like you saw really good appreciation, you didn't see the counter the effects of the depreciation. And part of that is because to do a cash out refi, like the state of Texas requires that if you're going to pull money out, you have to keep 80% in your home, so you still had some you still had a cushion there.   So they might have lost their equity. Right, but they weren't upside down on their homes. And I'm not saying that Texas wasn't affected or anything like that. It just wasn't as affected as much as some of the other areas. And so, you know, there's an appreciation, because there's this built in stability factor here in Texas, that you're going to get some appreciation play. It's not going to be 90%. But it's going to be healthy, it's going to be sustainable, which is what we saw in the last cycle.   Michael: Interesting. Okay. Very good to know. Very good to know. And from a short term rental perspective, what is it that you look for? Because you taught you spoke about your ideal, you know, for two and a half single story for your long term? What is it that you're looking for when you're putting short term stuff on Rootstock?   Ariana: So specifically to Galveston, we like to have something that's close to beach access, that's going to be number one, it doesn't have to be exactly on the water, either. It can be a couple streets back as long as you're able to get there. There's also some services in Galveston, if you do get once a little bit farther away, you can rent a golf cart for the week. So those are fun services that you can have awesome with your rentals as well. And access to the look, there's like maybe like one gigantic strip going down Galveston, so access to that, but not so close that it's going to impede or you have to cross it to get to the water. And that's ideal. And then what we're always looking for is a space that has enough to at least have one of the bedrooms have a couple bunk beds in it.   So an ideal situation is that you could fit, you know, at least two bedrooms, preferably three bedrooms, and a big living area. And a lot of the houses and Galson. I know you said you'd never been up here. They're up high. So they're up high to make way for the water to come in. So they're built on stilts. And so it's called a pier and beam, but they're up high. And so a lot of times there is like an outdoor activity where that people can add that to the house, under under the under the actual house. So there's like badminton and some people put pool tables down there and make use of the space. It's a very, it's super fun to drive through because all the houses are really tall. They all look like they're walking.   So yeah. So if you've never been to I mean, it's really, really it's an Galveston, my girlfriend was just there this weekend, they rented a big old house for her. Typically, it's like at least two families people have to travel together to Galveston. So um, so she wanted a big ol house and the people that were next to her were from Fort Worth, and they had you know, they had six kids and for adults with them and people like to go because when you go to the beach you don't have to be the only one in charge of your children right so   Michael: Built in babysitters   Ariana: But it's so accessible to so many parts of Texas you know it's just a it's the closest beach to most people in Texas so and no to everybody in Texas I gotta Yeah, I'm on the road down south to like Corpus Christi, right. But it's it's The closest beach to so many of us, yeah, that it's, um, it's just so accessible. So one of the big things is just obviously like, making sure it's super clean, outdoor showers are a big plus. So that you can stand inside your house, these are all kind of things you have to think about to be Galveston specific. And, and then water rental situations, you know, you can have that extra up, you can have your clients pay extra in order to have that and that's all part of the property management takes care of that. But you know, if you wanted paddleboards, or other things that you wanted accessible to be special for your client.   And then also, one of the biggest benefits is that this isn't a one and done situation for the people that are renting out this area, which is why it's not necessarily seasonal. And there are in the summer, obviously super booked 100% capacity all the time. But even in December, November, January, February, people go even if it's cold, because they the water never gets like freezing. So today it's like 45 degrees, which is like a one off. But last week it was it was 85.   Michael: So Holy smokes   Ariana: And like I can speak in, in my own experience. If there's a house that you liked when you went to Galveston and it's in the you know Surfside community or Pirates Cove, or, you know any of the little communities inside Galveston, you go back to the same house. Like if you like that house, you'll go back to the same house. And so like, like my girlfriend who just went this past weekend, she has stayed at that house three times already. And she likes that house. So she will continue to go to that house. Yeah, and so that's really one of the benefits of Galveston is a It isn't like an aspen where you only go, you know, once a year, or you can only go you know, it's easily accessible. And it's really used very often. Interesting. Yeah, you create recurring recurring clients.   Larry: And people want also, you know, when you start talking about Airbnb, people want that hotel feel, right, they want it to be crisp, they want it to be clean, right? So the furniture, the aesthetics that that you put into it, right? They want it to be like, Oh, if they have this dream vacation home, what would this look like? Even if it's small, right? They want that aesthetic to it, which is important to make sure that you decorate it correctly, that you have the right furniture and stuff to it, because there's a lot of competition now. And so reviews are super important. Who you have managing it? Is it super important? Are you responsive? are you handling issues and stuff. And that's been an entire learning experience for ourselves as we just entirely remodel this 20 acre ranch, right? All of the units on it, and we're coming up with a lot, man, it's a 30 year old home and you know, it has a pump house and these things that we're not used to dealing with.   And, you know, it's it's a very different experience, but all things that need to be thought about to make sure that you're at the top of the list, you're getting the most exposure. And, you know, you have, you know, the highest, you know, occupancy as possible, because I mean, do the math, right, like I've just pulled up Airbnb over here right now and looking at Galveston. And I mean, probably the average, you know, for this weekend is $300 a night there's some going up to six $700 A night, but $300 A night average. Now, it's not going to be 100% occupancy all the time. But man, that's a potential of $9,000 a month in cash flow, right like you have one or two good months and like you're paying for your entire year off of off of one good season there.   Michael: That's incredible. That's incredible. So we've talked about so many of the benefits and Lewers of the Texas market. Now let's talk about the dark underbelly because there's got to be one there can only be this great heaven on earth. So talk to us about what should investors especially remote investors who might not be familiar with the Texas market, be aware of what's some of the the hair that some of these deals might have.   Ariana: So number one, you need to and and to cover that when we're looking at Roofstock properties. I'm specifically picking for myself and my team properties to show investors that do not have this okay. So you have to look at the flood maps. That is like in Houston and Galveston, that is the number one deal killer. Because as an investor, you don't want renters in there, they're going to be in a 100 year floodplain that's going to create a lot of problems for you. It's going to create a lot of money for you. And on top of that flood insurance can really take, make it or break it in this in this deal. There are some properties where you can get, you know, your flood insurance for $400 a year.   Also, just a little side note, as a real estate agent in the Houston market, it doesn't matter if that area has ever flooded or not buy the flood insurance, it's a good investment. So um,   Michael: Even if it's outside of a flood zone?   Ariana: Even if it's outside of a flood zone as a real estate agent, I would highly recommend because you never know, we moved here nine months before Harvey we are not in a floodplain. We asked her real estate agent at the time and our insurance provider at the time do we need flood insurance? They said no. Nine months later, we flooded in Harvey, so do not take it from our pain. Let us like learn off our pain. And that is a very expensive fix when you don't have flood insurance,   Larry: the 400 and it literally because we weren't in a floodplain because our home had never flooded the flood insurance was $425 for the year.   Ariana: Yeah, right. And we did it. We're like, No, we don't need it. It's fine. We've come from the desert, like who really floods? I didn't really know. No. So I tell everybody just do it. I mean, just just by the flood insurance, you never know what's going to happen. Houston has crazy weather. So that's number one. That's definitely the one when you're looking at properties. See if you're in a floodplain, see if the property has ever flooded before, ask your agent. If it has, that's not necessarily a deal killer if it was a one off, but we need to look at your flood insurance, if you can be grandfathered into these flood insurance rates, if the flood insurance is going to be extraordinarily high, it's a good opportunity during your option period to maybe look at other properties that fit what you're looking for specifically. Um, yeah, so that's number one.   And number two, what else is weather?   Larry: Weather is by far the biggest one. I mean, as we've seen, winter freezes, right? Like all the pipes rusting, like, hurricanes, like weather is number one. Two, I would say is the is the taxes as the property taxes that was kind of eye opening and shocking. As we started diving into this market, it was much higher than anything that we were used to. I mean, yeah, tax rates can be upwards of 3% of a home's value. And so that drastically changes some of your numbers and stuff when you're looking at that investment.   Michael: Yeah, yeah, that makes total sense.   Ariana: And then anything else parking if you're looking in Houston parking is a necessary thing you need to look at, you need to make sure that you know, there's lots of teeny tiny, you know, three story homes, that would be great rental homes, but they're parking on the street. And that will really it'll it'll be very hard to get, you know, some renters in there that want to be able to drive into a driveway and so that that is definitely something to look at specifically that is for inside Houston.   Larry: And one other thing, especially as we're talking about short term, Airbnb, is deed restrictions, community restrictions. And this isn't just for Houston and Galveston, this is a cross the country for instance, Fredericksburg, right, they have, they're trying to pass like no short term Airbnb. Now we're outside of the city. And so it doesn't really affect us. But this is what some of the other Airbnb owners are going through that they're having to fight legislation. They're having to register properties, which is additional expense, paying taxes and stuff, additional taxes.   So based on the municipality, you have to look at some of these details and know what you're looking for to make sure that that it's again fitting your short term and your long term goal, right.   Michael:  Yeah, but I thought you said that Texas love tax exemptions, what's what's with the bait and switch?   Ariana: Now we do love tax exemptions. So you just got to find the right one that fits what your look all right.   Michael: Makes sense. It makes sense.   Larry: In Fredericksburg, we have an agricultural exemption, we have Longhorns and donkeys and stuff on the property. And so literally, our taxes are almost nil. There's wildlife tax exemptions, there's a lot of things. But again, this is where you have to do some research. If the numbers work as status quo and now you start digging and it just elevates that return on investment. Now we're we're really into the money.   Michael: So what you're saying is I need to go buy a property downtown Houston and get a couple cattle for the backyard.   Ariana: You There are many places in Houston you will see I mean you will be right off i 10 And there will be building building building building empty lot cows on it building building building. And the reason is because the builders when they're going in there, and they bought the land they put cows on the property in order to bypass the exemptions, or I'm sorry, bypass the taxes and have an exemption until they're ready to build. So   Michael: Oh my gosh,   Ariana: You can also do that with goats. You can also have bees. So that's wild. Yeah. And so they leave, they leave the cows there, they get the exemption, the cows eat the grass, they chill for a couple months. And then when they're ready to build, they move their cows to the next place that they bought. So   Michael: Oh, my What a trip. That's awesome.   Something I wanted to mention that you were you were talking about flood insurance, is I think it's so important for investors to be thinking about too, as we do start to see more and more storms, more aggressive storms, like flood zones change. And so I think that's something that people need to be aware of is just because you're not in a flood zone today doesn't mean you won't be tomorrow or next year, or whatever the case may be. And so just be cognizant of that, if it's an investment that you might be selling at some point down the road. That's a hurdle that any buyer who buys your investment property is going to have to deal with. So just be thinking about that, putting it out there for whatever that's worth.   Ariana: Yep, that was that is very, you're absolutely. After any major storm, if FEMA came out, they'll redo the flood maps. And so you should get an update of that like from your agent. Or you can always inquire about a property and ask and we'd be able to pull that real easily.   Michael: Awesome. Okay, I want to shift gears here really quick with the last few minutes with y'all and find out what it is that you're all doing with this 20 acre ranch and short term rentals. That is friggin awesome.   Ariana: Yes, yeah. So it was a COVID purchase. Actually, I had found the property we had been looking all over, we just really wanted something we didn't know where we wanted it. And we wanted it originally closer to us, because we want it to be able to manage it. Fredericksburg is about three and a half hours away from us. But then we have a certain budget in place. But then you know, there I am wandering the internet at night looking for whatever I'm looking for. And here comes this 20 acre property that shows up with this old 1970s Looking ranch style on it. And it was double our bedrooms. And double the size without looking for the double was hired early, double, double everything.   Larry: The time is there like I was like no way.   Ariana: No way. Yeah, it really was exactly double everything because we're looking at an hour and a half from us. And this is three and a half hours from us. And it's twice as vague and it's twice as expensive. And he's like, I don't know. And I was like, I'm very intuitive. You know, some people just feel things. I don't know, this is it. I was like you got to find an extra $1,000   Michael: Start looking at couch cushions.   Ariana: So we found that. Yeah, so we went we bought it. It was a single owner. She was she was her husband, but she owned the vineyard next door to it. And she's like, you know, it was just too much. And I have all this other land. And so I just want to I really wanted to give it to somebody who would do something interesting with it. And so and she had, you know, there's some people who want to go in there and do an RV park. There are some people who wanted to go in there and do some other I don't remember what it was something else. She didn't like them. She was like, No, this is this is like my baby. And then we went in there and said, you know, we'd really like to short term rental it and then eventually, as we continue to grow build tiny homes, that's my ultimate dream is I want to have a tiny home condo for people to just like get off the grid and just detox and you know, like, just have some solitude. And that's really important to us. And so she was like, Yeah, let's go for it. As longest escrow lives.   Larry: Yeah. Took appraisal issues.   Ariana: Like I mean, it was so it was like things were you know, appraisals are taking forever and getting a 20 acre property appraised and surveyed.   Michael: Yeah, took a long time.   Ariana: Yeah. And you know, we work in cities so the whole ranch and like the dirt lots were they called ranch land and land and ranch.   Larry: Oh farm and land   Ariana: I don't do I don't do farming land. So we had to bring somebody else from our company who does farming land to come help us with our own deal because I didn't know about farming land and septics you know, I know city septics I don't know about these subjects in the middle of nowhere and the properties on a well you know, there's it's been fun and, and quite a learning experience. Navigating all of this but um,   Larry: We call we fully remodeled it like we took it down to the studs, remodeled everything because we bought it it was a 1600 square foot, one bedroom, one bath, which is why it was still on the market, because there weren't a lot of families but we knew that that's not what we wanted it for. So we converted the laundry room into a second bathroom, and the living area into a second bedroom. So now we have a 1600 square foot, two bedroom, two bath rents for four to $600 a night with a pool. And then it has a 600 square foot guest house that we fully remodeled as well, which rents for 150 to 250 a night. And then we've already purchased our first Airstream that we're rehabbing. And we'll build a deck around it. And that will be our first additional unit that we add on.   Michael: So cool.   Ariana: And then we're talking. So we're talking to some people who want to do goat yoga, in Fredericksburg, and they want to hold their goats on our land. And so that's, you know, where Larry and I are, kind of hippies. And so   Larry: We're like, let's do this. Let's use all 20 acres.   Ariana: So cool. But really, it's because it's outside the city. It's got dark sky. So it is incredible to be out there in the middle. I mean, it is dark,   Larry: You can see the Milky Way actually running through   Ariana: It's beautiful. And we call it wild soul sanctuary. Love that. So we've just started doing some retreats out there and bringing in some people who do you know, Healing Retreats on the weekends, they'll rent it from us and you know, can sleep a good amount of people and we're open to people like camping on our land and stuff. So   Michael: Yeah, I was gonna ask, have you ever heard of hipcamp?   Ariana: Yeah, so we haven't quite dealt. We had people personally ask us if they can camp on our land, which we're open to. But we haven't quite. I haven't gotten into that yet. That's kind of next on our list to see. You know, how much of this we can rent out. Yeah. To camping. So tonight.   Michael: I bet a ton, I have been to some some hipcamps and they don't provide jack squat and like, seriously, I'm paying whatever, 60 bucks a night for like plastic Adirondack chairs and a dirt piece of lots of foot, my head, whatever. So there's definitely a market for it.   Ariana: Okay, well, that definitely writing you said hip camp camp.   Michael: Yep, yep, hipcamp.   Ariana: Okay. I knew there was a name for it. But you know, I'm also not much of a camper. And   Larry: She's more of that city. Like,   Ariana: Like, I let me take my shoes off, but like, let me get into a shower. So like,   Michael: There you go. Well set up glamping tents to?   Arianna: Well, that wasn't a yurts are a possibility. Yes, I think what I really want is like a one bedroom a frame. Like that's what I that's like, that's like mine, and no one's gonna be allowed in it. It's just gonna be for me.   Michael: That's so good. Oh, that's so good. Well, just the last question I have for you both, is how do you run your expense numbers on short term rentals? I think that's what throws a lot of investors for a loop. They hear like, holy crap, I can make nine grand a month, and then they're comparing that against their long term rental expenses. And that doesn't always jive. So how should people be thinking about expenses?   Larry: Yeah, so um, that is definitely it is the expenses are going to be increased, right? Because you have more turnover, you have cleaning crews, you have maintenance, you have handyman, etc. And   so we're, we're paying about 10% a month for property management, but we take on a lot of the communication. There's other, like, it's not uncommon to see 20 or 30%. You know, property management fees. Yeah. But they're also they're renting, they're renting it out. They're handling the calls, they're doing everything. So really depends. As our first one we wanted to be kind of hands on, see how this worked, and then evaluate, like, do we want to manage this this much, or do we want to outsource? And so that's where we're testing right now. So we can give people feedback on our experience.   But I would say I would estimate 30-35% I think that you can get it down a lot lower than that. Okay, but I would estimate that I'm a big fan of under promise over deliver. And so if you estimate it 35% and ends up at 25% You're like bonus, right? Yeah, I'm on that side. But again, even if you take, you know, $9,000 Uh, you know, if we just did $9,000 a month, and you minus 35%. I mean, you're that's still almost $6,000 a month, right now, you got to start looking at occupancy rates and things like that. And now seasonality comes into play, like after summertime, it will almost be like for three or four months 100% occupied. And so those months will really make up for some of the slower months right now. It's pretty much every weekend, like weekend warriors kind of get aways, but we haven't had anybody stay there during the weekend. Yeah.   Michael: Okay. Okay. Yeah. See, I guess it's really very much market specific around what your occupancy and then associated expenses are because those two are related. How much cleaning you're gonna do, how much turnover you're going to have is a function of your occupancy.   Ariana: Exactly.   Larry: I would say Galveston, you know, right now, when you're looking at the school seasons and stuff like that, you won't see as many weekday rentals. Okay, so that's, that's one thing to kind of look at. Christmas, spring breaks, like Thanksgiving, you start to get kind of the weekdays when people can travel with their families and stuff is what we've noticed so far.   Michael: Okay. Well, that makes sense. Well, you two have been so generous with your time. Thank you so much, again, for hanging out with me and sharing all this wisdom. If people have more questions for you, or want to get a hold of you, what's the best way for them to do that?   Ariana: You can email me at Arianawhitesellstx@gmail.com. Or you can also find me on Instagram: Ariana Sells Texas. And yeah, I'm more than happy to speak with anybody about the current market.   Ariana: So she's like she's licensed here in Texas runs the entire team. So she's the go to for anything here. Yeah, if I can connect or just add value to people anywhere else across the country, I would say connect with me on any social media platform. And my handles the same on all of them @LarryMFWhite.   Michael: So good. You too will thank you again and I can't wait to see where this ranch takes you both.   Ariana: Yes. Yeah, we'd love to have you out someday.   Larry: Yeah, come on down. Come at come fly into Austin or San Antonio and come out to the ranch. Let us know we'll do some wine tours.   Michael: Do some goat yoga. Careful what you wish for.   Larry: Yeah. Awesome.   Michael: Thank you to take care and enjoy the new year.   Ariana: Oh, thank you so much.   Michael: Alrighty everyone that was our episode a big big big thank you to Larry and Arianna. It was so much fun having them on. We chit chatted after the show after we finished recording here and they are hilarious if you didn't already catch that from the show. Definitely a market worth checking out Houston Galveston both for short and long term rentals. Exciting stuff. As always, if you like the episode, feel free to leave us a rating or review wherever it is you will see your episodes. And as always, we look forward to seeing the next one. Happy investing

It has been a busy couple of weeks here at BuckeyeScoop as we have spent time in both Florida and Texas on the recruiting trail. Our very own Bill Greene made his way down to the Sunshine State to check out many of the top talents from the southern part of the state as part of the South Florida Express tryout event. We also bumped into a recent Ohio State commit for the class of 2023 at the same event and got some more information on his ultimate decision. While Greene was working on his golf game in Florida, our Marc Givler and Kevin Noon went to San Antonio to check out the All-American Bowl, checking in on several Ohio State commitments and even a few targets who are still left on the board. While not everyone had the chance to play as roster numbers quickly depleted, we had the chance to check out several commits from both the East and West squads, talk to a couple of players who either recently committed or are still on the board and have a full evaluation of everything that we saw. It is a special edition of Givs and the Bank from the road as we wrap up everything that we saw on the heels of some major coaching shakeup within the Ohio State staff.

Rev. Mark Barz, pastor at Crown of Life Lutheran Church in San Antonio, TX, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Luke 1:39-56. Mary has believed the Word of God, and so she goes to visit her relative Elizabeth, who is six months along with John. Upon hearing the greeting of Mary, John leaps for joy in the womb of Elizabeth, who is herself filled with the Holy Spirit to exclaim blessing upon Mary. Elizabeth recognizes the great blessing she is being given that the mother of the Lord has come to visit her. The joy of the Lord fills Mary as well, and she sings the Magnificat, first of four canticles recorded in Luke 1-2. In the first part of the Magnificat, Mary magnifies the Lord for what He has done for her. In the second part, Mary magnifies the Lord for what He does for all people in bringing down the proud and exalting the lowly, all in order to keep His promise made to Abraham that the Savior would come from his line. “The Beloved Physician's Orderly Account” is a mini-series on Sharper Iron that goes through the Gospel according to St. Luke. The Evangelist wrote his well-researched account of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection so that Theophilus would have certainty concerning the things he had been taught. As we still read the Word of God recorded by St. Luke, our gracious Lord gives us that same certainty that Jesus is our Savior.

Lefty Ray Chapa is a professional freelance outdoor photographer and writer, and you've seen his work in Clay Target Nation during the past couple of years. As the official photographer of the NSSA and NSCA, Lefty has traveled all over the U.S. photographing skeet and sporting clays events. Through pure coincidence, he lives just miles from the National Shooting Complex in San Antonio. Lefty photographs anything having to do with a fly rod or a shotgun. His work has appeared in American Waterfowler magazine, Southwest Fly Fishing magazine, Texas Parks & Wildlife magazine, Texas Highways magazine, the San Antonio Express-News newspaper, and many more. He currently authors the “Lefty's Blind Bag” column in American Waterfowler magazine. He has won numerous national awards in photography from the Outdoor Writers of Association of America (OWAA) and numerous regional awards from the Texas Outdoor Writers Association (TOWA). His favorite award-winning photo is the silhouette of his wife and grandson against the sunrise that appeared in a recent Kent cartridge catalog centerfold. Lefty Ray is also the credited photographer on two Grammy-winning albums and more than a dozen Grammy and Latin Grammy-nominated albums. In the music industry, he is known as the guy who fell off a speaker in Las Vegas while on assignment during the Tex Mex Fest Tour. If you follow social media, you might have seen his images on Instagram or Facebook for companies like Kent Cartridge, Franchi, Fiocchi, Benelli, Syren, Hevi-Shot, Drake Waterfowl, Shimano, G. Loomis, and others. When not shooting with a camera, he is casting a fly to tail redfish on the nearby Texas coast during the summer or knocking down ducks with a shotgun during the winter. His motto during waterfowl season is, “No duck blind is too far, too crowded, or too cold.” You can find Lefty on Instagram at lefty.ray.chapa, on Facebook as Lefty Ray, on Twitter as @LeftyRay, or via email at leftyray@leftyray.com. And if you see him behind the lens at an event, give him a thumbs-up and a smile.
