If you have a healthy cash stash for each property, you can weather down turns and unexpected events more easily regardless of how leveraged you are.

Like most contractors, it took longer than forecast, but the home turned out beautiful and he did not add any costs to the end game.

The property was forecast to cash flow on 2 years at 100% financing.

Memphis gets about 6 weeks of 20 degree weather, so I am hoping the LG models with high enough BTU will do the trick.

And, they probably should not be allowed any TV, only a weather radio, that way the ankle tracker wouldn't be disrupted by electronic toys.Those who lack empathy deserve none. :)

Final thought- if the worst happens the there is a full blown investor-witch-hunt, then we will have no choice but to methodically go through, upgrade our buildings to the hilt, and weather the storm.

The rust belt states with cold weather except for urban core many of those markets are suffering and the economies and jobs are evaporating.Almost all my clients are buying in warm climate states.  

Dear Tenants,As the fall weather will soon be approaching please take this moment to review a few items around your home: 1) Lawn and leaf clean up: Remove all leaves in your yard, in landscape beds, along the foundation of the home, etc.

How much profit are you forecasting?  

The single family housing market isn't being killed, by any definition of the word...Here are the existing home sale numbers for the past 40+ years:If you ignore the 2007-2012 collapse, trends essentially mimic what was seen between the 1980s and 2006 -- steady rise with some brief corrections...Again, I'm not trying to forecast where things are going (I'm not smart enough to do that), but if you're going to claim that home sales are flat, I'm going to need to see some data to support that -- I'm not seeing it...
