Angular 5 - Trying to add ngModel to a standalone input causes errors

Question

I have a standalone input that I'm trying to use with [(ngModel)], yet when I try to use it, I'm getting this error:

core.js:1427 ERROR Error: Uncaught (in promise): Error: Template parse errors:
Can't bind to 'ngModel' since it isn't a known property of 'input'.

Here is the template code for the input:

<input class="form-control" placeholder="Enter text" [(ngModel)]="howMuchToSell">

I've even tried this:

<input class="form-control" placeholder="Enter text" [ngModelOptions]="{standalone: true}" [(ngModel)]="howMuchToSell">

But I then get a different error saying [ngModelOptions] is not a known property.

In my app.module file, I'm including FormsModule

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { BrowserAnimationsModule } from '@angular/platform-browser/animations';
import { HttpClientModule, HttpClient } from '@angular/common/http';
import { FormsModule } from '@angular/forms';

import { AppRoutingModule } from './app-routing.module';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { AuthGuard } from './shared';

@NgModule({
    imports: [
        CommonModule,
        BrowserModule,
        BrowserAnimationsModule,
        HttpClientModule,
        FormsModule,
        AppRoutingModule
    ],
    declarations: [AppComponent],
    providers: [AuthGuard],
    bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule {}

These are my dependencies in my package.json

"dependencies": {
    "@angular/animations": "^5.0.1",
    "@angular/common": "^5.0.1",
    "@angular/compiler": "^5.0.1",

    "ts-node": "~3.3.0",

Yet I'm still getting this issue? I'm so confused :(

Seems similar issue of https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47687958/uncaught-error-template-parse-errors-cant-bind-to-ngmodel-since-it-isnt-a/ — Paka, Dec 07 '17 at 10:12
I'm using a starter project I found that has a lot of this stuff implemented already: https://github.com/start-angular/SB-Admin-BS4-Angular-5 - I'm not entirely sure, since I'm not hip with Angular 5 stuff as of yet — Stevie Star, Dec 07 '17 at 10:24
You need to import `FormsModule` directly in the module where declared your component in which you're using `ngModel`. — Dmitrij Kuba, Dec 07 '17 at 10:28
You're right. I realized that there are multiple modules in this project. I found the module for the component I was loading the code in, added the appropriate module and it worked :) — Stevie Star, Dec 07 '17 at 10:38
