The problem is I currently work  offshore and can only get as many details as long as the weather isn't bad and I can keep a connection.

The rest is having sufficient reserves so you can weather a storm.How much reserves you need depends on how difficult it may be to lease the building or convert it into something else.

This way you increase the chances you can weather a storm if the market crashes without bleeding from the pockets or having to liquidate the property in a none desirable fashion.

Selling ASAP or long term hold to weather the storm?

I start by inspecting for mold and it's almost always found in the bathroom due to the Tenant not properly ventilating or it's around windows that condensate during extremely cold weather.

The weather might scare a few people away, but the locals keep themselves insulated and well-primed when the snow and wind come in.The City is actively attempting to lure millennials from Chicago with an ad campaign that highlights the City's amenities and transportation benefits.

We're doing some financial forecasting as we get ready to purchase our first home ($120k-$150k range) and are trying to project insurances... can someone clarify for me...

It's not speculation - it's a shortage of land (and thus housing) in an area that is desirable to live due to weather, culture, etc. with a highly skilled and well-paid workforce.

I'm confident the America will weather this.

I'm really enjoying the weather, cool nights and sunny days.I DON'T MISS TEXAS.I plan on spending another month or so getting grounded in the local nuances so I don't accidently buy in a degrading neighborhood, but I have made a couple of great local contacts.And of course I'll still be on here spreading my sarcasm.All cash
