I'm an agent in South Florida, and an investor - here's what I see and what I know.I just sold an Airbnb for 1.3 million in West Palm.

Eg before the sun comes up (or when she goes to bed), closing all curtains or blinds in the east and south facing windows (and later on the west facing ones) to keep the sun out; opening windows once it has cooled down at night and early in the morning (eg before 8 am)? 

@Michael Mcghee  yup Deja Vu all over again.back in the day I do disagree with Marco's comments that the homes were negative cash flow they were not marketed that way by west coast marketing companies.. they were advertised as 100 to 200 a month positive... when things melted down thousands lost these rental homes as they did not have enough reserves.. they would get their house vandalized etc etc.  

I fund a ton of stuff in the mid west ( rehab houses ) for my clients and a lot of them come from wholesalers ..

other than that you own it.you drive out and its destroyed or you bid on a second thinking it was a first tough luck.its the same in most west coast states..

You need a lending and securities attorney.There are some West Coast-based lending attorneys who work nationwide that I have recommended, but you might ask around regionally first.

The second property is west of us about an hour’s drive in Cordell, Oklahoma.

The one I personally manage in NE on the west side I never have any issues, different clientele.

We are West of Atlanta, and would love some local advice.

I'm on the west side of Elgin,IL and plan to make my first buy south or southwest of here.
