If a large employer shuts down or a weather disaster occurs all of your properties could be damaged or go vacant in a year.If you have investments across the United States, you're much less likely to endanger all your properties, which provides you with financial protection.Refinance one of your properties: Refinancing a property can often provide you with better loan terms and free up more capital to reinvest into another property.

Hello BP community, I’m needing some advice on weather or not to pursue a deal.

While this year has been fun, we are trying to build towards a true long term investment strategy, and continue to grow.Where we live (Upstate/Western NY) real estate reliably slows down when the weather turns cold and the snow piles build.

I would love to buy somewhere that the weather is nice since I live in pa.

Right now I think there is too much smoke on the water to make any kind of meaningful projections.We have COVID, and the possibility of a worldwide recession (unrelated to the covid) looming out there.I think America will weather these problems much better than other countries, but as far as comparing one area to another right now, I think there are too many variables //risk//. 

This is almost uncharted territory we may be heading into but I'm putting hope in the genius that God (not being religious here) gave humanity that we will find a solution and use out creative abilities to weather this storm and also help others.

We typically use a metric called Months of Inventory to forecast demand for product in a certain price segment in a certain area. 

However, the smaller limited service ones have weathered the storm quite well.
