One where a kid stuck a stick into the A/C unit fan which over heated the 20+ year old pump.

About half of them because of heat, storms, fires and fresh water concerns.

We are in FL too, and heated pools!

Waco’s housing market is heating up—what strategies are you using to find undervalued properties before they hit the open market?

I'm looking at fixer uppers that are considered livable (heat, plumbing, etc) and I think my DTI will be sufficient once I get renters on my current quadplex.Just trying to plan ahead, thanks!

If you're going to start with one at a time, know and study your competition.Good luck....you are right in the heat of things. 

Also means no regular heat source.We always leave the cabin with a good wood supply in the winter, fire starters, lighters and such to ensure they will have a heat source.  

I'm in a heating climate and a gas boiler would be expected to last 30-40 years at least.

A lot more people will want to move away from the heat and towards fresh water in the next ten years.

In these instances, you'd have to check things like flooring, plumbing for leaks, roof for leaks, hot water heater, and heating and air conditioning units.
