Apartments should be ready by next summer.

Against my advice, my friend is doing a "press to test" on withholding rent due to a broken air conditioner for the whole summer.

I'm happy to say that by the end of the summer, I should have absolutely everything running butter smooth.So, don't get discouraged, and you'll do great!

I plan on doing this at the end of summer, and I'm used to be being told "no" a lot, but thought I'd ask anyway.Side note:  Have many of you out there used this strategy as your main strategy for acquiring properties? 

The former would be a little more unstable, as you can go from 3 deals in a day to 3 deals in a summer, but there are always going to be houses bought and sold no matter where you are.

This summer the average Days on Market was about 2 weeks.

So work would be done during winter with a house ready for the spring and summer market.

I live in sunny (and expensive) Miami, Florida.

Plus there are many more 3-4 day "bootcamps" that range $2,000 to $4,000 that happen in various sunny locations (i.e., travel expenses -- which are deductible for business, but still).
