As I understand it Tampa's a nice place, with good investment potential.I'm trying to escape Silicon Valley, myself.

So I stay and enjoy the city and am able to escape into nature when I need to get away.Then invest in Chattanooga which in alot of ways has a striking resemblance to Portland.

Some wholesalers add “escape” clauses that allow them to back out of the contract (they usually do this if they cannot find a buyer) but I dont think you can actually state in your contract that you can back out if you arent able to find a buyer

After some more research, Charlie is correct and in order to make it legal, I would need to install a sprinkler system and steel fire escapes, which is about $25k+ right off the bat, not to mention other misc upgrades. 

A smart agent won't fall for the typical BS escape clauses and should ask for POF. 

Close to CA and close to warm escapes in southern AZ if you are tired of snow.

If any of these cause water to escape fromplumbing, heating or air-conditioning system or household appliance, the Underwriters cover damagecaused by water.

Generally speaking at 10% CCROI historically is considered very low for investors in those high cash flow areas.Right now you can't escape the relatively high priced real estate market by changing areas.

@Toan HoangTell them if they plan to escape reality and smoke dope to do so discreetly outside ..so the cops aren’t called due to the stink .

@Ashish AcharyaGive me a shout post 4/15.Right now I generally get on BP in-between clients to de-stress a little.Not a good time to get into a debate and dive into code sections.Perhaps my most recent example was too hasty reviewing the regs right now...The "-3" reg defines structural components by reference to Treas Reg Sec 1.48-1.The term “structural components” includes such parts of a building as walls, partitions, floors, and ceilings, as well as any permanent coverings therefor such as paneling or tiling; windows and doors; all components (whether in, on, or adjacent to the building) of a central air conditioning or heating system, including motors, compressors, pipes and ducts; plumbing and plumbing fixtures, such as sinks and bathtubs; electric wiring and lighting fixtures; chimneys; stairs, escalators, and elevators, including all components thereof; sprinkler systems; fire escapes; and other components relating to the operation or maintenance of a building.We know that a building and building structures are a single unit of property.
