., peak season, off-season, shoulder season).Weighted Average: Calculate the weighted average for the year by multiplying the expected rent by the occupancy rate for each season.

The dirt doesn't change its weight.

LOL, as a whole some will be better and some will not be but on average the home prices will average out in your radius search.

Why turn to happy hour and use other vices as band-aids but rather share them with others so advice can be given and a weight can be lifted from your chest.My stories range from trying to appease all 8 heirs to a probate acquisition... to showing up in the early morning to a Buckhead rehab with the back door kicked in and all tools stolen... to having no contractors show up for a week due to a myriad of excuses... to finding a lien on the property due to a previous owner... to the joys of dealing with historic district supposed guidelines... to listing a property in 2016 and finding out 80% of the "cash offers" are from wholesalers and digging to figure out who is a real cash buyer.At the same time, the highs of listing and receiving a dozen cash offers within the first 48 hours is a rush that is hard to compare.  

Another thing you might think about doing is renting out a room in your current residence and making them sign a lease and whatnot that way you can prove to the lender once it comes time for you to have proof that you've had the experience instead of just saying "I have a room rented out in my home" you can just hand them the paper with the tenant's info on it; it carries more weight, if that makes sense. 

This is completely fine, but if you were in this solely for investment I would place a lot of weight on your management strategy.

We had one house we bought in the hood for 7k, I send one of my guys, older ex-special ops guy, was over weight, limped walked  with a cane. 

That's the kind of talk you'll hear from every get-rich-quick guru on the planet, kind of like "7-Minute Abs" or Hydroxycut weight-loss pills.Just look at what he promises: you don't need to use your own money, you don't need to inspect the properties, you'll spend very little time on the deal, you aren't personally liable for the loans and debt, you'll work less and earn more...This can all be true if you know what you are doing.

The whole structure would have to be beefed up to accept the added weight.   

And we don't have any other money so I may just watch Netflix in 2015 and lift weights.
