@Paul Rojas - historically, Austin has weathered market declines well.  

if you're really missing the cold-weather life. 

They protect your home from storng wind or hurricane.Hurricane windows, also known as impact-resistant windows, can be a good option for homes in areas prone to hurricanes and other severe weather conditions.

Sarasota County FL economic forecast", "what to do in Sarasota County FL", etc, etc.Good luck!

Additionally, what do you have in reserves to weather a storm? 

Wondering if in your markets for your STRs (Short Term Rentals) are you seeing the ADRs (Average Daily Rates) a lot lower than what you were originally forecasting for the year, and are the majority of your bookings done last minute?

We also get some pretty violent weather creating roof issues due to hail damage primarily.  

I thinking you are on to something else as well, nicer properties and more expensive rents generally perform in real life similar or better than the spreadsheet forecast.

Based on your commission amount, you might be one of the examples where you can weather the negative cash flow if the overall return is better than what you could do if you cashed out and put that cash flow towards the next investment.

Some areas allow up to 3 separate dwelling units in single family zoning.2) it’s likely that you could make decent money renting out your bedroom or complete unit as an STR year round (not as dependent on season/weather as other areas, and typically not as much winter maintenance 3) Really solid appreciation.
