However, with the current immigration climate, I am unsure how to proceed.As far as I know, unlike California, landlords in Florida are allowed to ask about legal status.

@Adrian Chu  We have to be very aware of the cultural climate we live in - know the rules, abide by them, and proactively lobby for -and make the case for common sense laws and against restrictive rules that ultimately make it more difficult and expensive for the very ones who need the most help. 

Given the macroeconomic climate, I would expect cap rates to heighten in the next year or two.

I'm interested to see what effect the current pandemic / economic climate has on real estate values.

Everyone always talks about the market trends or climate.  

I'm trying to find areas that aren't over saturated but also have mild climates or little/no snow. 

Investing however, is planting it after you have studied the soil, the climate and everything else that will make this plant thrive.

I have recently become interested in William/Bill Nickerson - he seems to be credited with being the original real estate "guru".I do understand that his original book was written 52 years ago and the investment climate was different in many ways as compared to now.I am curious about his strategy - it seems to be a mix of rent and flip that I don't quite understand.

We were seriously considering going with his plan, and still may, but our progress on this step was disrupted by some medical issues, then by our decision to move from the balmy climate of So Cal's desert, to the balmier (IMO) world of Atlanta. 

We were going to do wood floors but they say it’s bad because of the climate, which makes sense.
