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..

And if you do not think you will get caught, a lot of nosey neighbors will call you out on it (we did not rent a basement but we had built a shed as an outdoor dog house that was heated and air conditioned and someone called about that on us...).

Updates of heating, adding cooling, and electrical.

We have also completed some exciting improvements including retyring a boiler for heat/cool ductless mini-splits and 9 units being electrically updates.

And heat and cool can only be turned on by them, with their phone. 

Alhtough values continue to appreciate, home prices are coming down as competition gets heated with more homes on the market.

In other words, I want to make the argument that even the worst-case scenario is better than allowing the house to sit vacant for several years while meanwhile paying out-of-pocket for taxes, minimal heat, lawn care, etc.

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

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.

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.
