I closed on a property that I am rehabbing to put back on the short term vacation rental market in Port Aransas, TX.  

Check out some of Immanuel and my other posts for details backing this up but suffice to say Notre Dame is working with SB to bring in high tech industries, there is a new power plant going in south of town, it still has great manufacturing including trailer construction, it is on the intersection of 2 busy highways 80 & 31, and it is less than 2 hours from downtown Chicago which is one of the largest inland ports in the world.

Move on, keep your friends, never rent to family/friends again, and fix the lease agreement for the next one.For the upstairs/downstairs heat differential, that is often easily remedied by turning the central air fan on full time or if it has a circ option, use that.  

If I were going to move back to Miami in order to be near the airport to fly out on my trips, I would have an apartment with nothing in it that I would worry about.

I will definitely keep what you said in mind when I'm looking since I know that it's better to be paying my rent into equity rather than thin air.

The area seems to be a stable economy that is supported by the Air Force Base  that is near by as well as some industrial type companies.  

hope you bought a bunch of sfr with garages and central air.
