With stucco siding, tile roofs, and desert landscaping, there’s no worry about issues like heavy rain, ice, or intense wear on lawns.

@Matthew Lamoreaux I think if you can find a rental, long-term or short-term, that cash flows well in today's market then this should be a factor that should be viewed as icing on the cake and should be used as a potential solidifier of a deal.

Destroyed newly purchased fridge because they would use a screw driver to try to break up ice after they left the freezer door open. 

Ice broken.

For example, no fridges with ice makers. 

Ice cube trays

The low sun nearly blinding them, they bounced between burrito joints and ice cream parlors, gated apartment complexes and big suburban homes.

Same as @John Underwood, @Diaz Principe Nicolas.I would love to get more off season bookings but there ins't much call for a iced in lake house with a foot of snow on the ground and the lake being frozen over.It is fun to see how many turkeys end up on the deck and to watch if wolves use the frozen lake to move around.

I'll pass.Very rookie question for you, @Patrick Roberts and everyone else here: I thought that post-Dodd-Frank, the barrier for mortgage lender accreditation/licensing was essentially raised to a point that HML’s and private lenders were effectively iced out of securing loans with a mortgage or DOT.

All were ice cold if even in the same industry.
