We are in Tahoe every weekend during winter time.

@Daniel Graham- I'm usually the Grinch , but not this weekend!

I have a full-time accounting job but want to work towards my goal after work and on weekends.

Hi @Joe VilleneuveI think I saw that exact same equation shared at a Guru's weekend bootcamp  ;-) With experience, one gains the ability to improve their formula to include the necessary variables/constants/signs used to mitigate risk. 

I put the condo back up for rent the following weekend with the intent to also give the condo a light renovation before the renters moved in (paint, rehab bathroom, paint kitchen cabs, add backsplash, new light/fan fixtures).

It seems like properties that I like hit the MLS and go under active contract within the day/hour sometimes even over weekends.

There are other rules though that you might want to prevent a weekend from getting blocked off because of a weekday stay bleeding in. 

Its like the person who complains that there is nothing to do during the weekend in LA (insert city with a vibrant scene) when in actuality they don't have any friends (lack dealflow)... and by the no one likes (has a bad attitude and that person who makes excuses”What are some markets that would be safer for a new investor like me to enter during this time period? 

Be your own boss, get up early, work late, work weekends, hustle the first 1-2-3 years and build a business.   

Once owned, my wife and I - with the help of our local, handyman buddy - spent about 2 months (just weekends and nights after work mostly) painted every inch, new carpeting in bedrooms, fixed some wood rot outside, new fixtures, mirrors, appliances, stained the back deck and did some landscaping.
