Great climate, lots to do, good employers, good schools. 

For whole-home climate control, a ductless mini split solution provides multiple-zone cooling and heating.

AC compressors generally last 10-15 years in a warm climate.

Transferring to an LLC is not seen as estate planning or an inheritance event.Most say it doesn't happen, but I see that quite probable in a climate of raising interest rates (why wouldn't the bank prefer to redeploy a loan made at 4% to current market of 6%, let's say) and/or if you are further along in your amortization (the bulk of interest is gathered in the first years of the loan...so if the bank got most of their interest and now have a reason to recall the rest of the loan, what stops them from trying). 

Not something I have experience with because I live in a fair weather climate, so please take with a grain of salt! 

Historically this has proved very reliable long term but especially the property prices have experienced short periods of depreciation (virtually always less than 5 years) and longer periods of stagnation.I make no claim as to continuing property appreciation as I could make a decent case for the RE market entering a period of stagnation, the market continuing to appreciate, or the market to depreciate some.However, I am still confident of rent appreciation in my purchase area (San Diego) for at least the next few years: 1) rents lag property appreciation. 2) vacancy rate is real low. 3) cost to add more than ADU is high - it costs around $100K to break ground for residential in San Diego (permits, surveys, etc.). 4) Minimum wage increases already approved. 5) one of the best weather climates in the US. 6) rising population: one recent study had San Diego as 13 highest population increase of large US cities. 7) geographically constrained: Constrained by Mexico to the South, Pacific to the West, Camp Pendleton to the North, and the East quickly gets harsh. 8) good and varied employment: Hard to imagine an employment category melt down that could impact the range of employment in San Diego. 9) environmentally diverse from mountains to desert to beach to happening urban center.Last weekend I sent out 2 rent increase notices.

I didn't regret but I understand here in Jax and anywhere in FL somewhat I have to put roofing and HVAC works into my rehab necessities because the climate condition (strong storm and salt from the sea).

But if you are an investor trying to make a profit in the diminishing delta between cost and value, you’ll struggle in a climate of labor and talent shortages while those folks seek the more lucrative insurance work.  

For example, we debated doing climate control (CC) units and spent hours talking & touring to ultimately decide not to pay to install CC.

And yes, Vancouver, BC is a beautiful place to live and has the mildest climate in Canada.
