Jared,Usually its the other way around you move from Chicago to Miami get out of the cold to get into the heat.

And now pipes froze cause no heat, and now it's $14k more to fix pipes, I gotta walk away" and "seller" says "like hell you will, you destroyed my property, you messed up my credit, now I'm getting foreclosure warnings from bank, YOU CHEATED ME". 

However, due to the anticipated gap in necessary units we anticipate the occupancy rate will increase slightly in the future.If you're a buyer right now what all this is telling me is right now is the time to be taking swings while things are cool and before they heat back up literally and figuratively.

In the summer while the other half of the country is dealing with sweltering heat, i'm still hanging at the beach.

Hello @Jordan Wisser,I agree with you regarding competition heating up if/when rates drop.

After the tenant moved in the repair calls starting coming in 9 times in 12 months - backdoor was stuck again (that was part of minor repairs), heat went out, AC not cooling, kitchen sink leaking,  etc.

And Even though a guy like Montalongo took a ton of heat he also advised his clients to buy in Vegas and Orlando post crash ( I funded 300 plus deals for those students) and none of my loans were over about 100k each those assets have doubled and tripled just on appreciation but no one mentions that..

You will likely have common area lighting (interior and exterior), perhaps heating and cooling too. 

Many properties in Macon lack central heat and air which I feel is a "must-have" amenity in GA.

I would rather let it sit empty with no wear and tear than take $1700 a month and pay probably $300/month for heat in the winter.
