The weather happenings depends on where you invest and can effect your leasing but I live in Texas where the weather only effects you more than a couple of days.Banks and credit companies tend to look at your ability to make the payments, not the property’s future hopes.  

When a market correction arrives, my partners and I want to be invested in assets that not only will weather the recession, but will continue to perform during those tough years. 

If the market goes down you won't have much equity build up to weather that storm.

House is in WA state so it is difficult to leave windows open for ventilating given the weather.

I always like to point out on these threads that there is a whole other side of the Rockies that gets somewhat ignored... beautiful places and better weather!

Now, it occurs as a regular part of life and its NOT sustainable.https://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/weather/fl-ne-how-south-florida-deals-with-king-tides-20191025-fizzzn2hy5ag5jkc2ropid7xbm-story.htmlAdditionally, we have a small plex in Napa, CA and the cost of insurance (due to HUGE fires that are now part of the yearly drama!) 

People go broke during a market crash because they didn’t plan on how to weather the storm and wait for the sun to come back out.

But especially considering the size of this investment, be very very sure you can weather any unexpected expenses/loss of revenue.  

I also plan to over-engineer my units to be dog resistant (washable walls, tile or laminate flooring throughout, dog friendly fenced in backyards if possible, etc).

You may just have to put the money into it and weather the storm or sell it now and get out.
