I don't pretend to be able to predict the future as to property values.

you simply can't predict whats going to happen in the rental business. and anyone who thinks running or landlording is hands 0ff and passive I can flat tell you ..

I know you can look at trends and study them to make predictions.

My prediction is that the purchase will be higher than the listing price.  

If I stand correct they predicting 1-2 years for the RE market to stand back on his feet and around 10 billion dollar in mortgages that people gonna have problem to pay now= tax delinquents = opportunities .

He also invests his own money based on his predictions, so that always gives me more confidence in someone. 

Has he gone way over budget on what he had originally predicted?

Snow is hard to predict but could snow during 6 months of the year with 3 being peak where there could be 2-3 storms per month.

If this storm is as bad as predicted I can’t see the sale happening or even the market recovering for months if not years.

This way you enjoy a year of cash flow (if your numbers are actually what you predict), then 1031 exchange into something that cash flows better, like multifamily outside of Nashville.
