I recently had shoulder surgery which put me at home for a couple weeks during recovery.

So on open house day, he's waiting in the kitchen, more like lying in wait, with a big gun strapped under his shoulders.

I have rubbed shoulders with some accountants to know that January through April is Christmas and to be patient with them.

You seem like you have a great mindset and head on your shoulders, just keep going.

I am sure someone has used this strategy, but I would think tough to make much money doing it.I think this strategy is mostly for people who own a vacation home and hope to reduce the costs.So they can stay for the holidays in a vacantion destination...Hawaii, Ski Resorts, Florida...and then rent out the shoulder seasons to cut the costs...not specifically to make money.There could be a few exceptions to this like San Francisco and New York were cost of entry is very high, but some people seem to have been successful turning old rentals into AirBnB type accommodations that would generate much higher revenue.There are issues with these as well where both the governments and often neighbors are not thrilled about turning their mostly owner/occupied condos into short term rentals.The main short term rental locations I know about in NC are at the beaches...but you have to figure out if the season is long enough or profitable enough to cover the rest of the year.  

You'd probably shrug your shoulders and wouldn't expect to be charged extra for something that is supposed to be that way in the first place.

I love the chip on the shoulder !

Have someone look over your shoulder.

Let it roll off your shoulders and move on...

Hopefully Trump will find a way to cancel Dodd-Frank and remove the CFPB and we can call get back to regular contracts again without having to look over our shoulder for Big Brother.
