I lived near Austin TX for a year so we had triple digit summers and I was ok with it.

It's 1:00 am now and I'll be at WESH news with my wife at 8:00 tomorrow morning washing their fleet of news vans before I get to the fun Real Estate part of my day in the afternoon. 

I was either channeling my inner @Steve Vaughan and taking a nap or driving through Kansas and MO with triple digits on the car thermometer -- the nap sounds better.

If the house is available and ready for an early check-in, I send THEM a note early and say something like "Great news! 

Hi Karen, sorry to hear the bad news.

We text her the dates of the reservations for the next couple of weeks and have a digital lock with her own code so we know when she comes and goes.

Okay first the good news.

And usually the first stop on the search is Sacramento, just a mere two hours away near the top of the state’s Central Valley.But besides the astronomical housing prices, there’s one other thing that Bay Area investors are looking to escape in looking for greener pastures… rent control.If you’ve been asleep at the wheel, you might have missed the news that the state of California will have a measure on November’s ballot to repeal the Costa Hawkins law passed in 1995 the prohibits local communities from enacting rent control policies.COSTA HAWKINS LAW QUICK OVERVIEWNo Rent Control on Single Family HomesNo Rent Control On Properties Built After February 1st, 1995Allows Landlords To Raise Rents With New Tenantshttp://www.kcra.com/article/ca-ballot-measure-aims-to-help-cities-like-sacramento-with-rent-control/21756945*** One tenant in the video says she’s living in an 813 sq ft dump off Fruitridge and paying $1,400/mo in rent.

@Imthiaz Ahmed The 4-unit limit is I believe a Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac limitation: http://www.freddiemac.com/singlefamily/news/2017/1128_loan_limits.htmlAnything beyond that, and your investment is no longer backed by the government, which is why you can get the lowest rates on conventional loans (i.e. less risk).The question to ask yourself is, is a commercial loan all that bad?

Properties in Norkirk, Clyde Hill, Bothell, Woodinville they’re growing double digits!
