None have paid yet because of maybe the holidays.

property location: Salt lake county ,UTAHI have been having problems with a tenant since day one, lease was started on: 12/28/2016 (I rushed through the screening process due to the fact that i wanted to get home to my family in Illinois for the last part of the holidays)  this is in part due to my lack of research on the tenants and also my lack of experience as a landlord, TRUST ME.

My last tip is to be ready to buy during the holidays.

I slave away at a monotonous job with decent pay, good benefits, that alows me to be home with my family every night, weekend , and holidays.

One of the others just went under contract a week ago (I'm actually partnered with someone I met here on BP - Hopefully we'll have a success story to post in a few weeks) and three others have title issues that I'm working through in order to make them legally marketable (2 of them should be doable but the 3rd will take some CREATIVITY and hard work).I rarely acknowledge 'holidays' so I'm meeting with a buyer and seller (2 separate deals) today on a couple of Realtor deals I've been working (which I do if I can't make a wholesale deal happen cheap enough on the purchase side).

Quote from @Manuel Melendez: It's common for the rental market to slow in the winter, particularly around the holidays.

Venmo has been clearing next day unless its the weekend or holiday.

Pete was able to secure a client for us in less than 30 days with a holiday thrown in the middle. 

Valentines day isn't a public holiday.

I have many friends stay in cambria or Los osos for holidays and always tell me they want to buy land after looking on Zillow, no one understands the building and living restrictions.
