Glad you maintain your asset, but the tenants are not part of your asset, the leases are...
I implore you to please start another thread on this subject and leave this thread to it's stated intention...

Drilling her??? I asked a couple of questions and disagreed and then said four freaking pages ago:

You are definitely self-employed (as far as tax law is concerned), but as a landlord and/or property manager and landlord you definitely do not fit into the categories I previously mentioned (selling equities and commodities without other form of income or independently wealthy) as long as you have tenants in your properties to whom you are beholden for your income...
At any rate this is all for another thread as this is a full on derailment of this one.
Who else has been/is going on vacation...?
So come one kps... the derailing started along time ago and wasn't even started by Sonal but and was politely asked to stop.

Thank you.

I didn't start that discussion. I continued it. GT made a quip and got questioned on it by MF, ML, and then you. I made a comment on your point. You then started questioning my comment and I kept responding to it. You were more than welcome to ignore my post and not feed any off-topic discussion.
I have no problem with threads getting derailed, but if you are going to keep questioning me on my business, don't expect me not to defend my own points. If you want to keep this thread on its stated intention, you were more than welcome to ignore what I say.
And in any case, I did, in fact, answer your question about going on vacation. Twice.
If you'd like a third response, I'm thinking about Prague for our honeymoon, but that's not for a number of months.
We're actually tlaking about heading to Europe this spring, though we may need to put that off to fall. My hope is to hit Paris/Berlin/Rome, but I suspect we'll need at least 3 weeks for that.
Flying in on a deal and renting a cheap apartment--I've been spending too much money making it a darn pretty slum.
We thought about Rome, but I figured I'd want to see a lot more of Italy than we can squeeze into a week, so that might have to wait. Since I'm starting school soon, it doesn't look like I'll be talking a lot of lengthy trips for a while.

Clearly...
In subsequent posts I obviously wasn't asking you about your vacation as you had already answered but was asking someone else to join in to get things back on track, I would think that was rather obvious... perhaps it was too subtle.

Paris is just a bit chilly this time of year.
Just to be clear, I wasn't insinuating that you are a slum lord just that any old slumlord has the same stated motivations you expressed... sorry if it came across that way... it was not my intention and I should have been more clear in that post.
My wife has been to Prague and says it is beautiful and she loved it there.

Perhaps it would have been more effective to keep the thread on topic by actually discussing and commenting other people's on-topic contributions to this thread so people have something to come back to and talk about instead of throwing out a short answer and that's it, no more to say, no more reason to keep reading or participating in this thread.
In any case, groove and I have started an on-topic back-and-forth about vacations. Care to join in?
