There are a ton of neighborhoods and the boundaries are frequently not well defined and at times might feel arbitrary.

However, for me, it’s a real life rags to riches story (and I remind my wife about it frequently!”.

Frequently people will post on the forums asking opinions about buying old houses/buildings, what to look out for during inspections and what considerations to make when structuring an offer.

I make a point of illustrating this frequently in front of my tenants, placing fake calls to her to ask about money decisions, things like that.

My indirect experience on collecting variable based fees is to try and do it less frequently.

Of course, it’s not that simple, but very possible and done frequently by some.I'm also looking at a few mobile home parks as well which offer 8 CAPS +/-.

I am clearly ranting now, but meanwhile the foreclosed upon occupants are traveling around the world which I have been sadly following through my frequent check ins via FB.

Seems like the short term rental is the way to go if I want to move forward on the property but am hesitating as we are going into winter and most of these local attractions go dormant quite a bit due to NE cold winter months.Would love any advice on if using this property as a short term rental in my area could be successful despite a good 4 super cold months where people dont frequent these attractions as much?     

I am struck by the difference between what a lot of the people writing here did/are doing and the common pattern we see people new to real estate so frequently ask about here on BP (but also locally for me here, in Allegheny County where the 'Burgh is, median home value $214K).

I use the business line of credit frequently.
