@ Carol,  I'm asking that question myself.  

After W2ing themselves, they both have another $100k sitting there.Sally gives herself a nice "shareholder distribution" (recall, she owns 100% of the shares) as a Christmas bonus to herself of $80k, leaving $20k in the business for operating expenses going into the new year on December 24th.Johnny decides to leave the funds "in the business," for "future investments."

Received the offer, negotiated and signed all on Christmas Day.

This neighborhood was like that moment in Christmas Vacation where the beam of light was shining down on that one glorious tree.

After all, we are the ones that have to carry the risk associated with owning this property and we need to be able to sleep well at night knowing that we will still be able to pay the mortgage and fix the furnace if it dies on Christmas eve. 

@Carol Venolia I wouldnt do it.

If you're a millennial in SoCal reading this, realize that Puerto Peñasco AKA Rocky Point in Mexico is less than four hours away from Phoenix if you really must see the ocean on a regular basis.How many of the 10,000+ Baby Boomers turning 65 every day and retiring are sick and tired of snow and cold weather in northern states and are deciding to come to Arizona and wear shorts on Christmas in warmer weather? 

I was doing great until Christmas and it was 29 degrees below zero. 

Or is that like asking for a Christmas miracle?
