If I stand correct they predicting 1-2 years for the RE market to stand back on his feet and around 10 billion dollar in mortgages that people gonna have problem to pay now= tax delinquents = opportunities .

He also invests his own money based on his predictions, so that always gives me more confidence in someone. 

Has he gone way over budget on what he had originally predicted?

Snow is hard to predict but could snow during 6 months of the year with 3 being peak where there could be 2-3 storms per month.

If this storm is as bad as predicted I can’t see the sale happening or even the market recovering for months if not years.

This way you enjoy a year of cash flow (if your numbers are actually what you predict), then 1031 exchange into something that cash flows better, like multifamily outside of Nashville. 

@John Humphries I wish I could tell you about some nice, fancy, financial instrument but it's just in a savings account.  

Example: Lease says -'Tenant agrees that upon non-payment Landlord may self-evict Tenant after 10 days' - Tenant agreed, Landlord agreed, a there's even a written instrument ---- Self-eviction still NOT legal if Tenant protests; because your Lease can not supersede the law and that law is interpreted by a judge and that judge may actually find you, the Landlord, as trying to circumvent the law and there may be real repercussions from doing so. 

Rentals are more predictable and carry less risk.

There are no instruments that will give you a monthly payment that's 2% of the balance divided by 12.
