Looking forward to this next tropical storm?

The name is Tropical Breeze Auto Spa.

what think you goes through the mind of property owners in Florida and New Orleans every time a new tropical storm forms?

just make sure U read the fine print on those helocs  IE the provision to call or freeze them .. if I was using them for reposition ( which is what I would do not long term buy hold down payments to high of leverage in the top of the cycle).. then I would evergreen the amount you need to finish the project.in the last downturn I made a lot of rescue loans to flippers who had used their helocs to do their rehabs .. when the helocs got LOCKED they were stuck.. 

I also spend very little from this money as i am rolling it up to buy another property, we celebrate some, had a great dinner tonight, my annual minutes meetings are done in a tropical environment (mexico).

If you want to meet some people, there will be 100+ people from the Portland Real Estate community Thursday night at The Evergreen in SE Portland from 6ish to 10ish.

Seems like the definition of buy n hold RE regardless of if relying on cash flow or appreciation.Cash flow, in addition to having the actual cash flow reduced such as Las Vegas and Detroit (as two of the worst examples) in the Great Recession (GR), there are other ways to loose money including the loss due to not keeping up with inflation (most of the cheap Midwest areas), natural disasters (could be anywhere but lately it has been South exposed coastal via hurricanes and tropical storms (Texas, Loisianana, Mississippi, Alabama), Ca via fires (Paradise, San Diego twice, Ventura area), and tornadoes (middle of the country), and large beyond planned cap expense items (could happen just about anywhere but good due diligence and conservative cap ex estimates can reduce the risk).We had RE duplex (STR) in Gulf Shores Alabama that we sold after it was hit by 2 hurricanes.

The resulting coverage not only sold their magazines it also drew people to this lush tropical paradise and made Puerto Vallarta grow into what it is today.Today Puerto Vallarta hosts an international airport that has easily doubled in size just in the last ten years.
