We are taking a break this month because of the holidays but it is usually the 3rd Thursday of each month.  

Having someone in during the cold winter months at a lower rate is better than not having someone there at all - especially if she's taking good care of the place.Get the upper unit rented as quickly as possible (with a good tenant, of course) so any vacancy in the unit below is mitigated. 

The market was very hot last spring (we got outbid several times) but hopefully competition dies down a bit in the winter and you can find a deal.

Happy Holidays!

What temporary heat source should I use while rehabbing an apt building in the winter?  

We have great properties in great neighborhoods... we own around 80 rentals and we are in the midwest so winter is a terrible month to have vacancies  We currently have 15 openings - the most we've had is like 5 but our tenants are moving out of state, buying houses, etc..  

Make sure to buy some warm gear for the winter. 

Bottom-line Up Front, this is my 80-yr old parents' winter home and I'm trying to figure out a deal that benefits both of us.

No sick days, no holiday's no breaks.  

Keep in mind with the holidays here getting a Writ can be delayed do to vacations and holidays
