I also keep long term in the short term decisions.What ever you decide good luck and Merry Christmas and happy new year.

Hi Carol,Thank you........I hope to be posting some success stories soon.  :-)Eddie

Just bought my first Duplex right around Christmas.

I'v been trying to wholesale here in the Charlotte market and successfully completed my first assignment of contract right before Christmas.

A few months ago around Christmas time we were doing a bathroom remodel for a new homeowner on a house that was flipped, the master bathroom was a disaster, there isn't enough space to go into all the things wrong, so I'll just tell you about the bathtub - jetted tub they bought from Home Depot, so it was a de-engineered Jacuzzi model, low horsepower pump, less jets than the non Home Depot version, but it looked new and shiney. 1) Tub wasn't sitting on the sub-floor, was suspended by it's rim, even it they had built the tub deck correctly to size based on everything else I sure they wouldn't have poured a mortar base for it to sit in.

Home Depot had Christmas ornaments 50-75% off the day after Christmas.

Those things are part of the farm operation and our largest amount of income is from farm products (Christmas trees).  

Best,Carol
