We are on a Christmas tree farm, so that's nice, but we're in a location that is literally not on the way to anywhere (since the Gulf of Mexico is about 50 miles to our south and I-10 is about 25 miles north) and has absolutely NO tourist draw (just a rural area that's coastal plain with a lot of oil fields and cattle).  

I've worked as an analyst at Scott AFB for the past 9 years as part of an 18-year federal career, I'm a Chicago sports fan (I know, boo), and I live with my lovely wife, daughter, two cats, one dog, and one BB-8 droid who hasn't been turned off since Christmas morning.Fun fact: I'm an author who has published a novel with a major publisher and several short stories.

Plus Thanksgiving, Christmas, New years, my birthday I spent it all working alone at the apartment because my contractors dropped the ball so many times.

I knew the closer I got to Thanksgiving/Christmas the smaller my qualified applicant pool would be.

Big Bear the 10 days  from Christmas to New Year's you literally can quadruple your price and easily boom all nights.

I was on the fence on whether to offer $25 below rental comps or $50, I wanted to lease quickly before people blew their money on Christmas so I went with $50 a month below comps.

Merry Christmas to you!

And New Jersey has a moratorium on lockouts during the holidays - the Judges don't allow the deadbeats to be locked out over Christmas and New Years.

Phones probably cut off because they decided celebrating Christmas/holidays was more important.
