"Can I put Christmas lights on the roof" "No our policy is tenants can not climb onto the roof"         -because of that one dude who fell off the roof that one timeBecause we self manage, our company consistently out performs the big PM companies when it comes to rent rates, vacancies, retention and turn time.

There's another recent thread about Christmas gifts, general concensus is don't do it, for various reasons.I can support either side, but I think that just showing human compassion with words can go a long way and the gift part probably isn't necessary.I think it's sad that gestures of good faith can be misinterpreted, but that is the age we live in, so better to be safe and blameless rather than giving and vulnerable.

Merry Christmas!

The Polar Express train ride is in Bryson City and gets a lot of traffic around Christmas time.

Trophy Signature homes have built in Park West and sold completely out in four months because of their location and being priced under $400k for new construction. 

Hope you had a great Christmas.

Thank you all and Merry Christmas!
