Not much goes on until Memorial Day when the tourists come back and the trails dry out for hiking, biking, etc.You can usually get a premium if you rent just for the ski season but just a couple hundred or so and then you run the risk of having it empty for a couple months in the spring.

Tell the person who bought a house in a booming area in 2006 and ended up being unable to sell and unable to move when the jobs dried up and see what they say.

If you do, don't put carpet in the basement until you are absolutely sure it's dry after heavy rains and use mold resistant dry

That opportunity actually came pretty quickly.Around that time, inventory was drying up both in their market (Phoenix) and my market (Atlanta).

@Paul McComb would like to hear more details on your deals, many here on BP say Phoenix has dried up on deals and the very few deals out there become extremely investor competitive. 

He said they usually fix everything and bring equipment to dry the property but the landlord stated he had no insurance and wouldn't be paying for clean up.The landlord then came back with a wet/dry vac and did a half-*** job of cleaning up the remaining water.

If you do, you send the wrong message to the tenant and the security deposit fund is likely to run dry. 

Also ( at least when I was doing things there 2000 to 2003) information that we can easily attain in the US is not nearly as easy.Defaults are very low and my experience being a lender is .. foreclosure is not nearly as cut and dry and it is here.. the courts have great latitude to adjust payments interest rates etc.. they will give the borrower a lot of leeway to try to rectify the situation...

My wife sent me a photo of the underside of the carpet he flipped, there wasn't many stains, you could see where it was shampooed for puppy accidents (a ring of the spot).

Same question for dry wall and painting, grounds keeper, landscaping as owner occupant.5.
