It is now being forecasted as one of the fastest growing markets in the U.S. and prices are still relatively low.

And I dont have to tolerate someone with no clue of what a project is about starting to offer useless forecastings about success rates.

Great post Golan,I have always been of the belief that appreciation is more speculative and unpredictable.Nobody has a crystal ball to predict the future.Cashflow is more "certain" and based of the numbers as they are today rather than forecasting what might happen in the future.You take the income vs the expenses, plus including a margin of safety for misc expenses and then you look at the bottom line.If the numbers make sense, the deal is worth pursuing further."

Where i live here in Lake Oswego has been very nice and very safe at least for the last 10 years. its just got crappy weather and the social issues of the state politics get to be too much . 

But I couldn't tell you how many times I was frustrated, heartbroken,  upset, and nervous, because I had higher/unrealistic expectations set and was not prepared to weather the challenges, which were unpredictable to me.

Everything I see forecasts continued strong population and job growth for Florida which is the backbone of demand for residential housing especially rentals. 

A friend recently asked me to compare two Houston zip codes, 77008 and 77063, from an investment perspective.Now, I'm a big fan of Texas but the first thing I said to him was the weather is HORRENDOUS.

@David Averyyes, as a resident of rainy, snowy Pennsylvania, I very much envy the weather!!

Be ready to weather every storm it takes for you tap out.
