Lesson learned...work over the holiday and snatch up the great deals being missed while everyone else is relaxing.

I heeded your advice, relaxed, and waited until the tenant was 3 days late on rent on December 4th (per their existing lease: due on 1st, late after 11:59pm on the 3rd).

(I'm not doing that)They are getting mostly med. students and traveling doctors through networking with hospital. 30-60 day stays that just wanted relaxation and out of the hotel.Small town is 7min away and most restaurants are 15-20min.It is not a great market for vacation rentals, so I'd like to get a good enough kitchen to be able to have 6-12month leases if needed.I found a little extra space under the stairs to put a 28" wide 14 cubic foot fridge, so I have more space than I originally thought.

Work as hard as you can while you can so later in life you can relax!

We welcome you and look forward to hosting you in the remarkable space, come relax, live, laugh and enjoy the renaissance for yourself.CLE

Should I just sit on my hands and relax?

I would rather spend my time relaxing and looking for the next acquisition vice the next leaking sink.  

If your numbers say the property won't work, then it won't.Also, make sure you take time during the flipping part to relax.

It is like letting someone watch your children, you have to really trust them to let go and relax.  

I thought to myself if I had to do that I would just go work at a restaurant next to the beach and make the same money but at least I could relax versus that mess.
