My family and I come for shopping and lunch, but might as well stay and play while parents get a drink, then end with Ice Cream or smoothies, and if anything maybe hit a movie or something.

@Jacob Beran realize that once a pile of plowed snow remains like that for a day or two, it melts, refreezes, and turns into one huge hunk of ice.

And I really likes these books: 1.Who Owns The Ice House by Clifton Taulbert 2.

Those "getting under contract" thinking they have exclusive rights; also how naively they jump on the hype and don't understand they're on legal thin ice attempting to market properties w/o license.

I think the most important thing is the number of weeks of occupancy you need to cash flow the property, work backwards from there to see if the traditional vacation market will support the numbers, anything on top of that is just icing!

Properties in most areas are subject to re-assessment by the local taxing authorities so the NOI has to be tax-adjusted before you use it to calculate the market value.I then plot the market value every quarter on a chart that allows me to show my investors the "hockey stick" effect of our value-add program as the increasing NOI effects the property value.

Though we'd say a quick 'Gidday Mate' to break the ice and start networkingCheersPaul and Lyn

Saying it looks easy for them on television is like saying it looks easy for professional hockey players on television. 

I had a tenant close the vents near the Air Handler and it had 1 inch of ice on the filter side and a thin layer on inside.  

You simply have to turn it off allow the ice to melt then turn it back on.
