The fictitous dentist and his fictitious trophy wife and I retire to some tax friendly state or country.

Hope everyone had an awesome Christmas.

Pictures are here if you're interested:  http://houston.craigslist.org/for/5149881504.html  There's some interior finishing up to do, but I think it's pretty cute.Anyway, the plan is to set it up on our property, which is a Christmas tree farm just outside of Houston.  

I was in SLC for Christmas and let me tell you there is a TON of Opportunity there if you see things through a different lense.

This was the week before Christmas and he asked to start the week of New Years.  

At most timeshare resorts in Colorado, only the 2 weeks at Christmas can be reliably rented for more than the maintenance fee.Almost twenty years ago, I got three of them for free because I thought I could trade them through RCI and save money on vacations.

Merry Christmas!

As many have eluded to, know your market.Here our market dies off during the holidays, right around Thanksgiving through Christmas then goes right back to full a day or so after New Years.

There are ways of doing this, but you need strong guarantees IMO.Lending is not something that anyone just starts in the middle of and decides by Christmas they will be a lender.

Along the lines of what Jon said, not real sure what grows in that area, but if you could do Christmas Trees or Pumpkins, those are a couple things that would be seasonal and pull in some good cash.
