People will have more choices where to go enjoy their habit and might opt for warmer climates, ex NV and AZ this election cycle.

I believe that this could generate a whole new class of reliable renter in the warmer climate that Florida offers (in addition to its already many retiree-centric policies and amenities).For Brevard, I have a personal interest.

I'm surprised the seller didn't list the house for more than the outstanding mortgage - considering Nashville's RE climate, it amazes me that he left money on the table.BTW, who did you hire for the legal work?

Similar to Fort Myers we have a great climate (besides the brutal summer months).  

Most commonly the owners in the colder climates select the lease expiration to stretch  over a year to ensure if falls between March 31 and August 31st when possible.

Some climate is of course is impacted by elevation so it's not exactly cut and dried but generally that would serve as a guide.BTW I vote for Denver but I'm biased and I know we don't have the stock of multis that other older areas do.

.• Composition roofs require more maintenance than tile roofs• Properties in climates with hard freezes require more maintenance than properties in milder climates.• Properties in locations with a lot of moisture require more maintenance than properties in dryer climates.• Wood siding requires more maintenance than aluminum or stucco siding.• Properties with lush vegetation require more maintenance than properties with little or no vegetation.Below is a typical Las Vegas single family home.As you can see, there is not a lot to maintain. 

How anti- climatic !

Not afraid an prefer sweat equity but don't like crumbling foundations or lack of a basement especially with our climate!

There are also other considerations - roof loading, wind shear, switching & wiring decay - that can eat into your profit pretty heavily.That said, you have two major things in your favor: density of usage and a favorable climate.
