My parents have finished paying off the mortgage on their home and are wondering weather it would be more profitable to sell their home or rent it out. 

Plus, because of the growth of the area and the elevation (you just don't get the cool weather once you drive down the hill to Brevard or other areas), SO MUCH money has eyes on it. 

For the 2-3 months of dry heat, (that most of us spend in the pool or at the lake) we get to enjoy 9-10 months of pure joyous weather without extreme rain, snow, hurricanes, tornados or any other extreme conditions. :)

If you're prospecting the entire coast, just keep in mind travel times for tours and be mindful of the weather.

It also matters where the home is located, and what the weather, type of tenants it attracts/has been attracting, etc. other factors are.

Especially in the real estate rental sector, I like to say "Be polite through hospitality, but be harsh on Business"

Focus on fundamentals: buy below market value, have strong cash flow (or a clear path to creating it), and maintain sufficient reserves to weather any unexpected challenges.If you’re strategic and stay patient, this market could create opportunities that lay the groundwork for long-term success.

This is a cold, and harsh world, and we're right at the start of it.

I forgot San Diego’s great weather.  

The way I see it, I have 2 options: 1) inform her of her responsibility to turn on the heat or be liable for any damages caused by the cold weather or 2) turn on the heat myself.
