We will sell our CA triplex before we move so that we are no longer exposed to the anti-business climate here, but plan to keep rentals in both AZ and CO, and are still considering investing in other landlord-friendly states as well. 

Curling edges to me means end of life for the roof in your climate. 

Not sure what the LLC tax climate is like in MN, but here in CA each LLC must pay a *minimum* annual tax of $800.

Locking in 30yr fixed rate in this interest rate climate seems like a smart move.I will keep calling around to see what other lenders can do.Thanks for the input.

The Basics: I've been watching the micro-climate that is San Diego's short-term vacation rental market since I moved there in 2015.

This is very nice in cold climates so you don't end up with frozen pipes and other damage. 

Any thoughts on vacation properties with the current economic climate?

I look for properties that are:1- near major places of employment that is relevant to todays business climate 2- Close to Hospitals 3- Close to Universities 4- Close to Transportation (Major Hwys, bus, train and ferry services).

Google the company name Climate Smith, you would see his contact info there.

I don't buy your line that "lots of landlords aren't interested in renting to people who foreclosed", especially in todays climate, where the landlords understand the situation, & imo, are benefitting from it!
