We have a shaved ice stand in Lumberton, and we're both very entrepreneurial so we're always looking for the next thing to get our hands in.

Act of God.. no concessions.. but lots of food loss from fridges going out.. and barbecues.. local dry ice places were totally out.. 

Just for reference sake, In Juneau when i got my flood insurance( I'm not to close to the water but live by a huge piece of ice on top of the mountain,) they just looked up what flood zone i was in and was able to write the policy@ @2100 a year.  

I was wondering if anybody has any experience with these ice machine that you see on the side of the road etc, would this be a good investment?

I'm coming to the area to watch a hockey game and experience the night life (Ann Arbor), but I'll be in the area from Friday to Tuesday, and I am interested to speak with active investors in the area about ways I can possibly support and enhance their efforts.  

Hello BPI'm getting ready to break the ice with my first property.I've been reading many of the suggested books from the BP community as well as watching videos and listening to podcasts.After 2 mos, I finally found what I think can be a sweet deal.

Grab a shovel and get the snow removed.. the ice dam guys that's the way the ice dam guys do it so if not a 10 story building and you have a way up there grab a small snow blower, smooth shovels and work the area near the leak first.. my nephew has a ice dam business in Minnesota,, and that's what they do.. min 125.00 a hour. for 2 hrs is average call..or call some ice dam services in your area.. 

 @Rich Ng NO, they will charge you for the service of lawn cutting /  snow removal, but they call the companies to send them, especially for me, 3 hrs away, they know when the snow needs to be removed or the ice needs salt on the walks. i do get charged for that, but the fee you pay your PM takes care of all those calls they do. if i am correct Jason (OP) is saying, is it better to not pay PM fee of 10% and pay every time the PM has to do something. if it snows 8 days during the month and they charge to make that call 8 times ( they will not do it for free if you are not paying for their service monthly ) that could cost you  a lot, on top of the cost from the person doing the work.

So, I bought them 2 cases of Colt 45 and a bunch of ice-cream for the kids till the A/C guy got there.
