If I could, I'd be hiking in Switzerland right now, spending the fall in the wine country of Chile and my winter on the beach in Bali.

Even in winter, it was simply a busy location with street noise.The only tenants I could get for that location were tenants I wished I didn't have, what would be typical for lower income areas.

Hi all,After years of soaking in anything and everything real estate related that I could find, this winter I set out to complete my first real estate deal by the time I graduated college.

Yes, @Robert Adams Black Diamond has two meetings per month, (except around the holidays), the third Tuesday is in Worcester, and the 4th Tuesday is in Waltham.

We bought 2 rentals in the early part of 2013 and hope to add several more in the winter.

Here is what we did but you may find it tough to find a GC who will work within these parameters & its time consuming but being retired it was just another experience for us.We also went with 2x6 because of the weather up here & it certainly paid off over the last winter.

I am hoping to set it for a Saturday in November or one of the days before the Thanksgiving holiday.

I worked for a few brokerages in Lake Tahoe for about 6 years and then the market went dead.A funny marketing story, I listed a mostly burnt down home on Park and Greenwood in South Lake Tahoe and I spent the summer holidays and most weekends holding an open yard(could not go in the house due to its condition).

Have a great holiday!

The Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating (SEER) number you quoted is a measurement of the units cooling efficiency and not of significance to winter heating {Note: SEER it is the cooling output during a typical cooling-season divided by the total electric energy input during the same period}.
