Remember, however, that a score is a tool, not a trophy.

Good Luck and Merry Christmas.

You will typically find the interest rates on the long term money 150 to 200 basis points higher in rate than 5 to 7 year term.The longer it goes out the higher the rate.Now there is some low rate fixed money for very long periods of time but these are typically low risk trophy assets where lenders will give the best rates and terms.The typical small investor buying an apartment building in the 2 million to 8 million or so range will not land those kinds of loans.

My general advice is to avoid speaking to lawyers whenever possible unless they're your cousin and it's the family Christmas party. 

Then, I was laid off shortly after Christmas despite a recent relocation I did for the company, having great performance, and previously being told I was "part of the long-term Executive Team."

The people broke in during Christmas weekend in 2011.

I put a property in the north suburbs of akron (about 30 minutes south of your area) on the market 2 weeks before christmas and had 6 solid applicants in 4 days.

We get some bookings for Thanksgiving and Christmas-New Years.If you were going to buy a lake front property now, no way it will cashflow.  

Things slowed down between thanksgiving and Christmas (some), but now we are back to full on 15 offers on every property the first weekend. 

Someone on here has a Christmas Tree Farm with tiny houses and does quite well.
