They are now very 'hot' to get into REI & in the past we (confidentially) helped them with a couple of small high yield RE investments.

I had a showing set up, one what I suspect was going to be a very hot property.  

Best weather in the world in my mind though is were I lived in the Napa Valley loved it there... 4 seasons not to hot not to cold.. great place.. 

The residential market is hot right now so many people getting licensed.

Welcome to BP.I hear the market is pretty HOT in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.

There is the worst way of install electric baseboards, or if you have the room to install a small wall hung boiler (maybe where the hotwater tank is) and run hot water baseboards... too many variables without knowing whats going on. 3-15k

To be fair the market is soo hot that i basically had to make offers same day as the houses came on market to get anything.

@Christopher Brainard  In a hot market listings are better than buying the house unless you absolutely stole it. something is just not quite right I have to think other brokers make complaints to the board about this..

Powers corridor is hot right now, and prices are higher than the rents justify, for the most part, IMO.

I think your best bet is to target hot areas and target off-market deals until the MLS levels out.
