A 25 year old furnace is sufficient until it quits (usually on christmas eve:))

I just spent Christmas in NW D.C. with a great family, wonderful friends, delish eats & plenty of good entertainment.

@David Krulac The tourist ski season runs December to about April (Christmas and Spring Break are big).

Christmas is an expensive holiday for tenants ...

Yesterday, one of the neighbor kids was playing outside with his brand new Christmas toy.

The closing agent obviously missed it, but he was not in the room when I brought it up.Fast forward 1 month after closing - after busting my tail working nights and weekends over Christmas and New Years I have the place rented out - and now I'm going over my budget numbers and they aren't adding up - I'm about $1000 over.

I'm just waiting for it to be filled, bummer I closed right before Christmas, bad time to get tenants but I'm hopeful.If you have any other questions let me know!

The national banks want trophy properties so usually are not a good fit although they typically offer the best terms going in.The regional banks I have found to be the sweet spot as they will go 7 years to 10 and will give better amort. and rates.

Deal directly with the buyer and directly with the seller and earn all profit without sharing.Bringing a broker into the deal is like giving the a Christmas gift with nothing in return.Go get em'

Of course our 5 year could care less about flipping houses, all he knows is that houses means we get to go to Colorado this Christmas, lol.
