How are the economic forecasts of the area?

It also has a future growth forecasts that was very high compared.

But most people here are out of state so it's very hard for them to think they can achieve the same ROI while enjoying warm weather on the west coast.

Haha.I planned on remodeling all of the units anyways and replacing the roof and a few other things when the weather is better in a couple weeks, so it works out good for me if he actually does move out because I can easily rent the place out for an extra $100 a month with a tenant that actually passes a credit and background check.

The topic of weather has been on my mind since I started seriously looking at OH.

Im leaning towards central florida where you can still find 3 bedroom 2 bath houses for 250k or less that would cash flow, and besides, the weathers better there lol.  

But what other techniques are you utilizing to ensure that you can weather a vacancy storm in your market, especially if you don't have a large portfolio to carry a few vacancies?

So Cal has a broad based economy, perfect year round weather, amusement parks, sporting events, universities, world class medical care, etc.

Otherwise, a general rule of thumb is during the spring or fall so that the weather is optimal, as you've identified above.I'd recommend calling a few different realtors in the area and ask their opinion.

We also wouldn't be pulling weeds in 100+ degree weather.
