I don't think it is recommended to do concrete work if the temp will be below 40 degrees.

There is no "one-size-fits-all" financial rule/plan for anyone, there are only general proven/unproven guidlines (like "spend less than you earn, and invest the difference to get wealthy") to be researched and manipulated to fit your circumstances. 

People were manipulating neighborhood pricing with land contract sales closed comps.

But the prices are vulnerable to manipulation just like the stock market, plus it doesn't have any of the investing advantages of real estate - leverage, tax benefits, personal control.....

Property data can easily manipulate and mailed out within minutes.Frank

I don't want to get into that level of mind games and manipulation.  

And I could never feel comfortable with the paint mocking me every day.But for all the people that DO have the sense to get out of the cold beware that nite temps are dipping below the 70's this week! 

It's all well and good to say "it's an asset not a liability" and all of the rest but none of that matters if the pipe bursts because of freezing temps in Ohio in the winter. 

I can’t manipulate your data, but if we make an incredibly simple (and yes dangerous, just ask the guys at Long Term Capital Management) equivalency between risk, volatility, and standard deviation, you’ll see the difference.

You may be temped to buy in the hood due to the pro forma (projected) yield, but when the vacancy happens and the property needs repairs-- the extra security, break-ins, theft, etc can eat you if you don't know what you are doing.We also sell the above turn keys on those cap rates based on fair market rent rates.
