I schedule boiler/HVAC service for at least two months BEFORE winter (or summer) season.

The locals do make it difficult to do a lot of tourist based growth largely because the tourists make life hard during the harvest season.

I also look closely at the note’s seasoning, loan-to-value, and whether the yield justifies the risk.

It might be a seasonal and geographical change, but I remember that when I helped a friend and co-signed on a lease --- we had to fill an application and pay for a background check BEFORE we were shown the property. that was 2021 or '22 though.I remember that our application and credit check was good for 90 days or so and we could view multiple properties with that.

.-  Fall stuff, seems like a never ending list of outdoor tasks for the season, mostly around pulling down a harvest and getting the beds ready for next year.

Being that it is the slow season here in Minnesota, we are entertaining the idea of having expenses covered over the winter.

Plus there is typically a 6 month seasoning requirement (if you financed it to buy it)... so you would have to hold it 6 months before attempting that.It doesn't look like a good BRRRR unless you were going to somehow drive further appreciation in that 6 months to increase the value above the $310k.All the best!

.🏡 Home Prices: Slower Growth, Still ClimbingHome values barely moved in August — down slightly before seasonal adjustments, up 0.2% after — but they’re still 1.5% higher than last year.That’s not weakness; that’s balance.

I like that baselane is very good at bookeeping and will make tax season a breeze.

As a Banker I advise the best thing to do for everyone new or seasoned is to "Do the Math" as we say on the Finance/Mortgage side.
