I found an individual just before Christmas that had to sell in a hurry.

All my poor friends and family are constantly buying new things at the flea market, tons of Christmas presents for their kids, new vehicles every few years.....then they tell me they wish they had money to invest.

Lastly, regarding an influx of foreign buyers, New York and London also enjoy the same sort of trophy buyer that is looking for a safe haven for their money.

The only dead zone we ever experience is really October until after just after Christmas, and it begins to pick up around the new year.

It's a fun job except during the Christmas timeframe.I have 2 sf rentals and am saving money for a third.

I enjoy stopping by each rental close to Christmas and dropping off Christmas baskets to my tenants.  

Most people are purchasing property at nearly 50% debt-to-income, living above their means, using property as a trophy and not an investment, and the appreciation they do accrue is wiped clean in selling fees and interest to the bank.

Jan 1st 2017 happened to be the last day of a vacation, my wife and I had enjoyed our Christmas and NYE.

Have a Merry Christmas!

We get a week long Thanksgiving booking most of the time as well as a 10 day Christmas to New Years booking.
