Also since I live in a cold dark climate.. just heating and lighting expenses were a lot too.

In cooler climates you'd probably want to install the vapor barrier between the back of the drywall and the insulation.

It's important not to undervalue what could still be marketable in this economic climate.

Which, even though I'm pro-solar, means that imposing a broad rule on all new construction in an entire state is not necessarily the best solution to address climate change, and especially, to address housing affordability.

Ideally a STR should try and maximize occupancy year round, which I agree is hard to do in a moderate to continental climate, unless you've got a secluded cabin in the Appalachians, near a National Park, Treasure, tourist attraction or what have you.

.✅ Low operating costs: Good indicators of a pro-business climate include:Property taxes: State Property Tax Rates - Rocket Mortgage.State average insurance cost: Insurance - ValuePenguinState income taxes: Tax Foundation✅ Low risk of a natural disaster: The cost of homeowners insurance is the best indicator of the likelihood of a natural disaster in an area.

I have used Climate Guard in the past for a few windows and was happy with the price and quality.

It is possible to find the right house, obviously there are successful STRs there, but it's too hit-and-miss and the regulations will just get tighter and tighter due to the political climate there.Nevada has limited draw IMO except for Vegas and maybe the East side of Lake Tahoe?

Making the most of every moment is important to us, so moving to a more affordable area with an agreeable climate where we can work together on things we enjoy sounds appealing.Financially, a change like this is scary.
