If you can't kick them out on Christmas day for non-payment you do not need to be a buy and hold investor. 

@Mike B. of my 5 flips:37 DOM - Listed in the summer, did 1 price drop, then sold over asking with 2 offers.3 DOM - Sold just under full price.2 DOM - Sold at full price.39 DOM - Listed right before Christmas and sold just after the new year.

I'm really into the landlording thing but im living in alberta where i work so i cant really do any deals cause i wanna do deals in ontario when i move home next year..im going home for 3 weeks at christmas should i even try a deal and keep it long distance?

Merry Christmas All!

Since shortly before Christmas I've been dealing with two vacancies that were by far the worst I've ever had.

(but I've been on my current job as a temp for less than a year) Honestly this one might come down to my ability to write well and my relationship to that particular underwriter - if she got sufficient Christmas cards, etc, from me, if this were a "pick me up" deal that Wells or whatever preapproved you for. 

It's a Christmas joke!

I spend a lot of my time helping others and giving back.I just received a Christmas card, a box of Luxury Belgian Chocolates and a $100 Starbucks gift card from one of my mentees as shown below.

I also work can to can't (I've worked every day since Thanksgiving including Christmas eve and Christmas day).

The day before Christmas Eve, I got an MLS alert that the price had dropped.
