This may be simply adding a wraparound porch or deck, creating outdoor seating areas for relaxing and entertaining, or get on the designer shed bandwagon.

My wife and I are a little concerned that the 'pin-hole leak' problem is going to persist, and may already be more widespread than we know... and the relatively relaxed posture our land-lord has maintained is additionally worrisome.  

I’ve also had family members invest in deals and again when it’s good everyone is happy but if things get hairy it causes way more stress than it would with someone you don’t have to see around the holidays.

If the foregoing date is a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, then the date to vacate the property is the next business day at 11:59 p.m.

School year, Holiday's, and Colder weather slows things down.When I help with deal evaluation, I considerRents to be the lowest number reasonable to get the home rented if I hit the market the first of Dec (very slow time of year for most markets.)Prepare for a lower appraisal than you might think.

We have only experienced great things and a vacation home to use when not rented that is close to our home, but feels so relaxing to go to.

@Ahad AliAhad - Happy New Year - coming back to you on this b/c I was away for the holidays.

In other areas (Shinjuku, Nerima, Bunkyo, Yokohama for example) it is legal only on weekends and holidays.

Your heart is in the right place, and none of us would want to pay extra because of a disaster, but that's how the market works in those cases.Best wishes, happy holidays, and thank you for your service!
