I’m tentatively looking into the Lakeland / Winter Haven / Orlando general area because that is generally where I’m from so I’m familiar with the area and I know that the market there is much better than the market where I am.

Winter and Summer U-value: the lower the better; this is the inverse of the R-value of insulation.

what it must be like without winter.:-)

I am putting an offer on a home in Lake Forest Park, WA built in 1916.

I drove by it a few times and it looked decent from the outside and was able to see pictures on the MLS from the owners trying to short sell it in the winter.  

Keep in mind market value on rent in our area trends up in the summer and down in the winter.

@Tyler Winters welcome to BP!

Once he found out we had obtained the receipts, he went silent and finished the job quietly.We sat on the market all winter long.

We are in the Grey Forest area in an old house with a couple acres.

There is a local meetup in Lake forest every month that you should check out. http://meetu.ps/2QWCkhIf you would like to meet up before then and talk about investing let me know.
