@Bob Okenwa yes I'm already pre approved, the seller pulled it off market before the holidays and then when he posted it back there's a engineers recommendation that says the foundation has wood rot and needs work and it is improperly framed. so that has to factor into my costs now. so now that has to play some type of role. so now my offers I'm considering now is lower than what I originally said with this new information which he had before I visited the property initially. so now my rehab budget just went up. my offers his on a docusign the seller was very motivated about my original offer before he pulled it off the market then he lowered the price. another 15k and I'm working with an agent as well 

Summer, Leaf, and holidays (and ski season if you're close to a ski area).

One of mine is in a popular downtown area, with 2 BR, 2BA, and I can run it at $139 night most of the yr, with increases during busy holiday times to $189. $60 cleaning fee, so pretty affordable I think.

I will get a better assessment went I go take the tour of the house after the holidays. 

Colombia is a great place to invest in real estate, especially after the newfound peace and the explosive growth in tourism.I'm most likely going on holiday to Colombia next week and meet with local developers to look at real estate investment opportunities.

Good afternoon BP and Happy Holidays,Looking forward to connecting with likeminded real-estate professionals.

For close family or VERY close friends then my general rule is as follows:> Never during peak season or prime holidays (because I would be paying them to stay at my place since it's guaranteed high rate bookings)> If I let you stay for free you have to pay for the House Keeping fee and make sure they post a review somewhere, even if it's just my Facebook site. 

I see that in general there are few fewer renters looking in December/January time frame, between the holidays and the cold, people don't really want to move.    

I hate when vacancies happen between November and February as it seems like nobody wants to move during or right after the holidays. 

Happy Holidays, guys!
