When my door was closed, I could tell by moving the Encode deadbolt by hand that it was scraping on the strike plate, which uses more battery power and can cause it to jam completely if the door swells from weather.  

Too many headaches for cash flow on paper (which is actually negative in reality) : stolen AC unit (thieves climbed a 7 ft fence), attempted break in (alarm scared intruder away), repair issues, winter weather (make sure someone turns up the heat on a vacant property).

I now run several real estate and related businesses and am loving every minute of it…except for the mask mandate rules that change as fast as the weather.

This scenario forecasts a potential 9.85% cash-on-cash return for an all-cash investment.Additionally, with a more extensive renovation, the property's resale value could surge above $200,000.This is just one example, but the above data showcases its potential as an excellent market for single-family home investments.

Income over many years-weather plays a big part is the success of a wash, you want to see REAL numbers for st least 3, more like 5 or 7 years to get a better picture.Sellers mindset-is he really selling 2 of 3.

Rising temperatures, increased frequency of wildfires, and more severe weather events have heightened awareness about environmental safety.

Everytime I visited the weather was poor.  

Warmer weather?

A lot of variables to give you a solid answer - but if you can financially weather a little turbulence I would stick to the the original STR/MTR plan, as long as there are STR comps that support this decision.

Work with the local experts- talk with local zoning officials, engage architects, and reach out to contractors to understand the cost and feasibility of your project.Run your numbers- do some forecasting and layout some financial models to project costs, revenues, and returns.Make sure you are utilizing your team- aforementioned real estate broker, financial advisor/ CPA, and lawyer and others as you go.Best wishes and good luck.
