It's not much right now, but I'm generating "steam."

It took a while to pick up steam, but eventually did, I believe due to the quality of the renovation/decor.

The migration from Denver to Colorado Springs, where the median is hovering in the high fours to low fives in the midst of roughly a 7-year run, Pueblo is picking up steam, as is Trinidad.

Candidly, we started in October which was the beginning of slow season so we have yet to fully cash flow the property over the last 4 months (we have kept our prices low in order to build up reviews and that has kept us booked steadily), but the area picks up steam in April each year which is when you start putting money aside for the slow months!

Did you have to replace the boiler - steam or hydronic system?

Early January, the HVAC system went out in my property (old steam boiler system).

So I noticed an aberration in the Tampa market, it started back in December and really gained steam this month.

seems like you are about to pick some pennies in front of the steam roller...However, If you plan to do this, you need to heavily vet the tenants.

I have houses, with forced air NG, boilers NG & oil, steam boilers and electric radiant heat.
