@Gregory Winter welcome to BP!

Or maybe they're just tired of winters in DC :-)"Military leaders have described the Futures Command project as the Army’s most significant reorganization since 1973.

I figure if he had no energy to shave, he certainly don't have the energy to mow.The property is located in an "A" area, almost 100% homeowners, all with beautifully manicured lawns, so even when my tenants cut the grass, it's not even or edged, and there's no spring and winter cleanup, it still stands out looking unkempt.

One would be to lower purchase price to cover those expenses and get work done after settlement before winter sets in and causes even bigger headaches when things start to fail. 

Only downside is that perpetual $2 toll on the BOG got it fighting gorge weather in winter can be a challenge so I suspect you get to work from home a bunch ..and I think that if I am not mistaken is about the wettest place in Oregon / WA  :)

I only have leather like living room furniture as well, less penetrating material, easier to sterilize and clean.

We might be able to use it for hunting and winter sports depending on the area we buy in.- If we buy a couple thousand acres of ranch land, but want to turn it into a wind or solar farm, how quickly does the land need to become active with the actual farming of natural resources?

It isn't fun to rent places in MN during the winter however I don't have an issue in my area, this may not be the case for other areas.

Also John and Michael do either of you know about any winter month policy in place that forbids landlords from evicting tenants?   

So BRRR could be on the horizon this winter.
