Christmas of 2014 we went up to visit her family who had recently moved there and fell in love with the area.  

@Carol Hall where did you find this deal at?

@Thea Linkfield & @Carol Hall I will absolutely be checking out the JaxREIA and Meetups.

If you disappear on me for 2 months vacation after you pocket $30,000 on your first flip, I'm probably not going to send you a Christmas card.Congratulations for moving to action, you've already surpassed the vast majority of hopeful investors. 

However, we signed a non-compete with Thanksgiving and Christmas/holiday season so we will likely have one the first or second week of December and then back to business as usual on the last Wednesday in January.

I visited your area over Christmas to see the manatees.  

When I say that’s all that I do, let me tell you what to expect in the life of a landlord and all that they do. 3 am Christmas Eve Tenants call-Furnace went out.I get up, phone calls made, emergency call, expensive triple overtime to the Heating Contractor, Tenant has heat.

My husband also built a pet project personal finances tracker app for us (hellofin.app) and it sends me a text every time money goes in or out of our accounts, and we can add a tag to it (like "christmas gifts" rather than the generic bank terms "shopping").

Carol, always nice to have a 1.0 or better DCR ---- but good manager and good properties can equal more long term and stable returns.... so much to consider.... 

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah and Happy New Year!
