I am forever grateful to her for keeping me grounded.Favorite hobby: Scuba diving, cold and warm water.

Property management will kill your cash flow on most STR's.I would suggest first to have great heat in your house so your wife is warm and talk her out of moving to Floriday for part of the year.Second, use Vrbo and/or Airbnb to self manage your STR.

I'm trying to decide where to buy  Here is my search criteria:I want a warm or mild climateI want to eventually move there and live in one of the unitsI want a balance of cash flow and appreciation (want 6% apprec or better)Want monthly cash flow of 200-400 or more  low cost of property  ( under $275,000)first choice is a 4 plex, next choices - triplex or duplex or single family house if there is another building on the property where I can live, .   

It really warms up my heart and I feel more empowered.

If you’re in a place like Chicago and you walk into a warm unit the tenants are automatically put in a good mood.

The notice that you send to the daughter can offer help, assistance, your warm wishes etc....but in the end you can't perform an eviction w/o a judge deciding if that is what needs to take place.  

Before doing so, the heating unit, while old (30 years), was functioning fine and often—he kept the house in the 70s without issue.When he got back, he turned the heat on, and it worked for a couple days before he relayed that there wasn’t any warm air coming through the vents and thought he smelled natural gas.My questions: How would you proceed, if you were in this situation?

Thank you so much for the warm welcome.
