It's heating up around here.

You can tell when the seasons are changing, not only in temperature but in the amount of for sale signs that pop up like dandelions. Everyone wants to give a shot at selling their place just to test the water.

I've seen everything from flashy fence long signs to a "for sale" hastily scribbled on a piece of cardboard. Guess which one I would call. The only problem with testing the waters is there isn't a lot of motivation to these sellers. You need to find the guy who has had his property listed since January. That's motivated.

However there are a lot of properties to look at and choose from. The only way to pick a flower and not a weed is to run the numbers!
