I'm on call 24/7 and have to check the place out after any severe weather.

Originally posted by Brian Adamson:Hi Gilbert, I think wherever you go, the weather is going to be an important decision in determining what you do.

I build my programs and forecasts from watching and analyzing the large financial players, as they truly set the pace that then trickles thru, and that trickle thru gives time to position.

If in your shoes, I'd try and weather the storm through the winter and then get them out or evict when the weather is warmer and when it's easier to re-rent the unit.

Otherwise, anyone can use Siri to send texts, emails, and make calls to people in your address book.Get a better weather app.

Thanks Mike..you've moved on to better weather in Florida I see.

It's probably REO, so the electricity is usually off (unless there is very good reason - I went through one that had a sump pump running continuously even though the weather was and had been dry; I suspected a spring of some sort was pumping water into the basement).

My properties were in Williamson County Texas which has a fairly high foreclosure rate considering how well Texas has been weathering the recession.My last deal:Duetsche Bank Jan 2011Original list 99kList 89kDOM 90+Bid 74, Bank countered 79, agreed on 77 but negotiated 10k off because slab sloped so 67k, 10k in fix up (didn't fix slab as minor) and rented for 1000 monthDeal 2 July 2010HUD list 160k, bid 139k the first day it went to investor bid and was the only bid. (8k Tax credit had expired) Bid accepted

In fact, older weathered alum siding (like mine) is even easier.

Make sure you go there and visit and due your due dilligence and make sure that if you move there you are comfortable with the weather..ie if you hate the cold, you are going to be unhappy in chicago.
