I can see people submitting offers on Thanksgiving Day and Christmas if it gives them a leg up.

@Carole Hilgenberg I believe you can do up to 5 transactions without needing any license in MN.

Do you maintain a list of people for other reasons, such as marketing, Christmas cards etc?

In 30 days or so I will have my first AIRBNB which is already rented out for the week of Christmas.

I buy Christmas cookies from a tenant who is a professional baker.

Last year, I was awoken by an upset neighbor at 7 am ON CHRISTMAS DAY because the dog had jumped their fence and was after their urban chickens.Just today, the dog escaped.

I'm reading a book called Mindset, by Carol Dweck.

I was given the advice many years ago when I got into rentals to just hang tight and see what happens....fast forward 10yrs and they are still kicking strong.....my 2 cents Good point.... except for 2 things I consider: 1) sometimes it's better to replace an old appliance when it's nearing the end of it's life rather than get that call from the tenant - and that call always comes on Thanksgiving day or Christmas week.....2) Newer appliances like these are SO much more efficient that over a period of say 5 years you will have recouped much of the cost anyway.

I am getting more questions first, but still, looking good for 2022.We had a long Thanksgiving family (8 days) and have a Christmas through New Year family as well.
