They've been all across the country and to Hawaii, across Canada and to Moscow and Europe and England and Galapagos Islands.It's been great for us, I love the part of finding off market very profitable deals that have ongoing cash flow and my wife is an interior designer by training so she enjoys the design and decorating part.
