It also seems that roofs will last longer in a dry climate. 

It's a great time to buy in Cleveland right now--the business climate has turned around 100% and there's about $4bn in construction activity going on downtown right now.

Pay attention to the time frame and market climate during which Robyn operated her flipping business.

I hope you enjoyed the change of climate and neighborhood.

I was looking at the A/C zone in the link provided by Climate zone.Mine says 2 ton instead of 1.5 but mine are quad apartments with 4 units to a building at 1,178 sq ft each unit.Maybe over the last 30 years because of hotter climate they now recommend 2 ton instead of 1.5.I don't know if the chart is meant for houses only or calculates apartments differently.Hey Justin is the 80 bucks include the cost of the thermostat??

The large cap deals that are moving forward in todays capital climate are sponsors with 40(ish)% of the cost in the game.

Ordinance from the city would be good, as regulation means it is allowed legally and would make it more difficult to ban it (although I don't think that is likely to ever happen).You are probably aware of the climate -- Palm Springs (city proper), just passed an ordinance limiting the number of rentals you can have per year.

@Mark KelleyMark, the two responses are on the money, but I grew up in "MUGGY" Oklahoma City and thus even though the climate here is much more favorable I simply have to have AC to sleep.

Obviously that is speculation, and based on political climate.
