I can't believe what the developers sell these things for originally though.

Property was originally a small hotdog building, residence and floral shop on a hard corner of Lake Mead Parkway, Henderson, NV 89015.

A zoning board meeting and vote is required for a variance approval and is usually rejected due to local political opposition.Also, there might be problems with files from 1915 and it took me 3 visits before they were able to locate the files and see the original plans.

Did they let you include all the activities listed in your original post?

Original plan was to fix up, rent, get some tax savings, and refi.

Okay, now you're saying something else, from your original statement that I questioned. 

Im originally from DC area so buying a investment property there isnt as friendly as buying it in TN for an example.

For sale by owner transactions were originally created when grandma is selling her home to grandson.

Moot point then.But in response to your original question, no, I would not even consider climate in my choices for where to buy rentals or investment properties.
