Personally, I'll be looking for deals between Thanksgiving and Christmas when people are moving because they have to and not because they want to and there are fewer potential buyers to compete with.

@Daniel Kevin LaraShould be home for Christmas this year.

I also really need to get a property of my own so I can start storing my own equipment for my business (I run a pressure washing/gutter cleaning/christmas lights business on the side in addition to my 9-5). 

Outlets set up for hanging up Christmas lights11.

It's definitely a bigger headache taking care of these things while tenants are living there and when things do go out, they tend to go out at non-convenient times such as Christmas eve when it's 0 degrees outside and nothing is open. 

Hi Drew,I looked at Kearney, and it looks like a nice small town, a long way away from the bigger cities.[1] Now you say you want to "Connect" and "Network" -- and ask what can do to provide value to others.Way too wide of mesh in your net...tighten it up--what do you want to get from others--focus on that vs what can you give to them.You cannot find a needle in a haystack unless you FOCUS on finding it.Don't worry about what you can give to others--it's probably nothing they really want or need.[2] Focus on making Business Friends...get invited over to Don and Betty Drapers house for a BBQ, or Christmas Caroling.Not friends like in High School, but Business Friends...You might be the youngest person there.Pull out our wallet and invite 20 people (you have know for at least 6 mos) to a chicken and corn BBQ at your place, if only 1 shows up--that's better than zero.

People are busy with their kids school events, shopping and getting ready for Christmas or getting ready for vacation before the new year.

You have to buy real estate to get ahead in real estate.Besides the one time I had to throw all of the sick orphans  out during that freezing cold Christmas!

We fully know we have to allow service animals and when that happens we don't visit that cabin with my daughter until a good bit of time has past and several cleaning cycles have occurred and hope for the best.I have a 9 day booking at Christmas that was booked months ago.
