Hi, I've been on vacation over the holidays.

I also like the $0.05  per gallon discount on gas at Holiday on your Menards card.

Around the holidays and the higher rates have really started to put the ball back in the buyers court.

Plus, I think I over do it with what we offer above safe rentals to tenants. treats on valentine and other holidays.

LOL  They do box out certain dates and times so that they're not overrun on the holidays and other busy seasons to where the visit is miserable for the once-in-a-lifetime guests.

I've emailed a bunch of people on the Pittsburgh Housing Authority website about the program, and will call all the numbers after the holiday.

If you wait for the holidays, it’s too late.Though I’ll currently admit to a trunk full of Tequila and cigars from Costco (you can tell who we loan to) and chocolate for our less hardened clients, not an opportunity goes by throughout the year that we don’t express our appreciation for our relationship with those we do business with.

After they have seen your message a few times and the holidays are over, your January mailing may prompt the calls you are waiting for.

this one actually came a few weeks ago. it's an interesting story.i was on vacation with my son in florida while my wife stayed back during the xmas holiday to rent out 3 houses. we had just fired our agent who we used to just list and show the houses on the MLS.anyway, while i was in florida i saw a 2k sq ft house in livonia that had an in-ground pool. the house showed super rough and the pics were terrible. it was listed for 189.9ki texted my wife and said "go and buy this house". she called the agent and he said "been on the market for 3 weeks, no calls. has 5 bedrooms".we had been looking for a long time for a larger home for us and she jumped at the chance to see it. it ACTUALLY Has 6 bedrooms, not 5. the listing was wrong.i offered 100k, no inspections. they came back at 132. we settled on 122k, pulled a loan so that we could preserve the rest of the cash for the future purchases. closed 4 weeks later (mid february)ARV on this house is close to 230k.I knew i could not start working on this house until about June. i also knew that it would take about 30-40k to fix it how i want it fixed for us to move in there, so that meant we could move there in august.2 weeks ago we went out to dinner and while driving i had an epiphany. i told my wife, "we will rent this house AS IS, no updates besides filling in the pool for $1,300. rent it for 1 yr, while the MLS dries up". this house updated could rent for $1,800-$2,100 per month.she texted immediately tenants in #4 and offered to them to move in this large house since they need the extra room. they signed a 2 yr lease last week and they are ECSTATIC.I will rent #4 and increase the rent from $1,100 to $1,300 since they have been there for 4 yrs.the tenants already resurfaced the floors at #25, will put pergo in the living room and change carpet upstairs. here's the pool - all 41k gallons of it. 2" pump is about to pump it out.here it is uncovered, pumping away.here is my concrete guy who is filling this pit as i type.the moral of the story.... just have multiple options. and be patient. is it nice to have a huge house so that you can spend 10s of thousands to fill it up with furniture?

Many people don't market this time of year because of the holidays.
