The house is in LA county, so we are getting warmer weather, but it’s also pretty humid still.  

She'd never done any maintenance...said people appreciated the weathered look.

Nik Moushon we purchased the house in the Fall so we ran into Winter weather which slowed us down.

But I'm a 30+ year pilot and I read the accident reports--pilots always say "I'd never take off in that kind of weather" or "I'd never let myself get that low on fuel, I'd just make a fuel stop", yet the leading causes of general aviation accidents relate to flying in adverse weather and fuel mismanagement. 

@Arthur Panagopoulos - The property taxes are fairly low, no income tax on salary and wages, 3.2% unemployment, decent population growth, affordable, good for cash flow, decent weather, cap rate in th 6-8% range.  

In addition, there's the weather to contend with.

Hopefully this doesn't come off too harsh... but when people get so caught up in the physical aspect I have to ask why?

The weather is sometimes a reason for southern cities, not for MKE.

@Bill Crider Yes, the weather is awful!

And a few days before the closing the weather turned warm and the smell cme back.
