Could be an excuse to take deductable business trips to warmer climates a few times a year.

You have more than enough Market, in a 800,000 Pop city.5Outside or climate controlled?

The Big Island is the Best Island- True- Ok Im biased, but it does have some of the best beaches, 2 international airports, 8 Different Climates (tired of the whatever weather you have, drive 30 mins to something else) , Average Temp is 75, much of the residential housing is over 1,000 ft elevation which means no AC needed.  2 Volcanos, Thousands and Thousands of acres of farm and ranch land. 

Structurally speaking, in hotter climates you want more surface area to allow the heat dispersion.

Favorable investment climate: Kansas City has a favorable investment climate, with landlord-friendly regulations, reasonable property taxes, and a relatively low cost of property insurance.

The better you know the city: the schools, the areas with high crime, what’s becoming trendy, where the new developments are going and which malls are closing etc.... the easier it is to know whether a property is a good buy or not.Regarding what to look for in a market is sound fundamentals: a strong economy, jobs, population growth, jobs, new construction (but hopefully not outpacing demand), natural geography, climate, desirability, solid unemployment rates, jobs, high household incomes relative to home prices (affordability) and jobs, but mostly jobs.By those metrics I think Seattle looks good, minus the affordability factor.

Tennessee is seeing a boom because of it's business friendly climate and no state income tax, but Knoxville, Chattanooga, Nashville, Memphis, Jackson and Johnson City are all different markets. 

I like this poem I got from Jason Hartman's site: “I hesitate to make a list, of all the countless deals I’ve missed; Bonanzas that were in my grip, I watched them through my fingers slip;The windfalls which I should have bought, were lost because I over thought I thought of this, I thought of that, I could have sworn I smelled a rat;And while I thought things over twice, another grabbed them at the price; It seems I always hesitate, then make up my mind when it’s much too late;A very cautious man am I, and that is why I never buy;When Tucson was cheap desert land, I could’ve had a heap of sand; When Phoenix was the place to buy, I thought the climate was much too dry;“Invest in Dallas – That’s the spot!”

Atenas belongs to the Alajuela province where the climate is very pleasant and it's only an hour from the beach and centrally located from many touristic attractions.

Faith investing is much higher risk especially with todays economic climate.
