It's this thought that allow him to weather the winter.Us INVESTORs (by the way, I don't consider too many people Investors if they are owning Real Estate but are doing a LOT of work for it, those people have a job), in order to be good, need to think about the FUTURE, in my case, at least 10 years out, and always saying to myself, how many NUTS do I have to put away to weather the intensity of the WINTERs that I see in the FUTURE?

For me, it’s simple: cash is king and having the reserves to weather through anything. 

I can make mad spreadsheets for real estate from the engineering and I can weather the ridiculous people in real estate from the spiritual psychology!

They can’t be prevented; however, damage can be mitigated by taking preventative measures, such as weather-proofing and proper maintenance.

If it ends in the next few months I think most operators will weather the storm well.

If weather allows, I should have everything complete including site work in 30 more days. 

Better weather, you can be in markets that are showing population growth (which should turn into appreciation), and you'll be in a no income tax state, which will make your take home pay greater.

When it rains heavily, some standing water makes the roads a little difficult, but even in the highest storm surge I've seen with severe weather, my house has been fine.There are some areas (Larchmont west of Hampton Blvd) that have houses not in the flood plane, but the roads are, and with severe weather, they wind up being little islands.When you consider the flood zones are 100 year flood planes and climate change has been a thing for centuries, I would worry more about what the data tells you now than climate change specifically...unless you plan to own the home for 100+ years. 

RE is also low priced, and is consistently appreciating higher than national averages and also weathered the last recession better than the national average, and certainly better than CA. 

You can guess what the weather will be next August 4th in your neighborhood by using today and maybe the last few years weather oh August 4th but it would just be a guess.
