@Lucas Carl San Antonio is a great market but it is hot like everywhere else.

I'm interested in flips as well, and have been told the market is HOT!  

I'm probably ok paying a little more and operating on smaller margins because of how hot the area is.

Can get you into hot water as far as Fair Housing Act as well. 

In your climate, I would probably use faced polyisocyanurate on the the external side of the wall assembly.Plan sounds reasonable ... the more insulation the better whether you live someplace hot or cold as it keeps the heat on the correct side of the wall.

Asheville is a hot market right now, so I am excited to learn from all of you as I prepare to purchase my first rental property by the end of this year (I wrote it down so it must be true, right?) 

Hi Robin,    That is a lot of work to do in a hot market where you may get out bid in the end. 

Just 3-6 months ago, crypto was the hot new thing with a lot of BP'ers chastising conservative-minded folks like myself for not jumping on the crypto train. 

im looking at a house right now that is currently a 2 family but has only 1 steam boiler which is only 8 years old. there is also only 1 hot water heater as well. it is all natural gas and the previous owner paid for water and heat themselves.i wasnt sure what others do in this situation from a landlord standpoint.1. do you raise rents to cover yourself for the winter?

If it's hot I wear shorts.
