I'd find 15 days in the middle of months you actually resided there when you were at a family member's house for Christmas if I was you. 

My cash tenants are usually good accept for around Christmas lol.

You'll save your tenants money, which will reduce turnover(which will save you money.)Just think about it- what will you say when a tenant texts you around Christmas with a picture of their $500 heating bill?

Hi @Carol Schmidt,The AC brand with the best reputation now is Rheem.

Getting a rent check is like Christmas every month to me.4. 

She still holds parties for her past clients (I need to go to the next one), has a newsletter she sends me, sends Christmas cards, etc.

@Thomas Hausfeld welcome - have a few buddies that graduated from Bishop Caroll as well as my mother - but WAY before your time...ha - Take some RE classes as electives at WSU - they have some pretty good teachers - the head of the RE dept is a great guy - can learn lots from him and get a few doors opened if RE is what you're interested in. 

Matthew,Please feel free to join us for REIA-NCI annual Christmas party on 12/13 at Eberhart golf course starting at 6pm.

So I always try to sell my homes in the Spring when the cycle favors the sellers, and try to buy in the summer (it's HOT in AZ) or around Christmas time..Also, staging the home is ridiculously inexpensive and well worth the cost.

But yeah I have consolidated my loans around Christmas and have had one large loan since.
