., placing door hangers in areas that were hot.

The only way that could happen would be if the tenant happened to spray some liquid on a very HOT glass bulb.

Also I am wondering the best way to calculate inventory or to find the so called "hot spots" to buy and sell; I want to start looking for forclosures in those areas. 

The previous hot water heater was in the shed that we converted to a laundry/pantry so that had to be relocated as well.

@Brian VarbelImagine you were selling your home in today's hot market and someone offered half of your asking price.

It seems that some of the Midwestern markets aren't real sexy, but they produce.

I would love to house hack locally but it's such a hot market right now and everything is way overpriced.  

I've seen a few pitches that also cover a hot tub - these are popular on the Oregon coast.

Depending on the size and layout of the property, costs should be in-line with what you're looking at with other options.What about Hot Water?
