Hoping for some suggestions for typical syndication investor Xmas gift. Something that acknowledges each investor and shares our appreciation in them putting their trust in us. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Cash is king.thank you and I understand what you're saying, but this is my situation. this is my third lender, and i'm sick of having my credit hit by hard inquiries. we need a place to live before i start working in stl right before christmas. this got me a closing three weeks before christmas. ive already got the HELOC, its drawn about $14,000. if you know a bank that would lend me $200K on $42k base pay W2 and close by 12/2, id be happy to talk to them. i'm just wondering if its better to use my HELOC for a bigger down payment to make my loan smaller, or not, as far as making monthly payments goes.

I fail to get my family Christmas presents every year but this year everyone will be getting a different book on crypto, real estate and conscience with a fresh pair of socks. 

A tech for one of the largest companies told us that they are expecting shortages and the price to double by Christmas.

At one point he mentioned the attic had a pull down door and the attic was partially floored so items such as Christmas decorations could be stored up there. 

Even on Christmas and Easter.

Planning on having my first property before Christmas.

Then there’s a possession hearing separate to this which they can also appeal it can take 45 days total in my experience My court hearings are always within 7 - 14 days of filing, unless it's around Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Hi there - great thread :-).Here are my top books:Mindset by Carol Dweck - teaches to foster a growth mindset and that the pursuit itself of a skill or goal versus the end result and the embrace of failure on the journey is far more beneficial than to never try at all.The Slight Edge by Jeff Olson - the importance of small daily actions will lead to big results overtime.

Made the mistake of paying my contractor large sums around Christmas time even though he hadn't met deadlines because he gave me a sob story about needing money for his kids' Christmas presents, big mistake.
