They will work 8 months out of the year working at various refineries during shutdowns and rack up a ridiculous amount of money.

I cannot tell you how many people I work with have told me "you should watch [insert ridiculous flipping show], they flip houses in just a few days and make over [insert ridiculous profit]".

As Emily said Daniel, it is a ridiculously hot market and boots on the ground would be a huge advantage.

Although you can use it as a pied a terre or for out of town guests those nightsAlso there may be some disagreement with this statement but if your condo was built 10 years ago maintenance and capex should be lower than the typical rules you seen thrown about.I think because of all the new inventory coming online I don't see your value dropping but I think the appreciation will level off this year, and with all the ridiculous apps and startups getting funded these days I see a correction coming in the next 10-16 months.

I ended up pulling out last year after my offer was accepted due to their ridiculous contract, an incompetent lawyer, and rampant horror stories.
