Holidays are for giving....

Not the normal post about Real Estate, but really the holiday season is about more than just Real Estate. My husband, +Jack Bobeck  and I have three properties that we provide families homes in with #leasepurchase options to buy. We have seven other #rental properties with partners, but our issue today is with one of the lease purchase families.

A few weeks ago, one of the owners of our house learned he had a tumor growing in his small intestine. He had been feeling gassy all day and was taking Tums and Rolaids and they were not doing the job, then he collapsed at his place of work and had to be rushed to the hospital. Scary for him and his wife, the doctors did not know what was going on with him. The unknown is the worst part.

So he has been in the hospital for a few weeks, and they sent the tumor out for examination, it came back benign, some good news finally. So he is still in the hospital and he needs to be able to eat on his own, before the doctors will allow him to return home, then he is on bed rest for three weeks (I hope he stays there and does not try to get back out). Meanwhile, he has not been working for several weeks.

He has a 3 year old son and 6 month old daughter and a new wife at home, but he is a great guy and he has helped me on jobs as well. So my husband and I are going to buy him and the family food for the holiday, get a few presents for the kids and really try and bring some joy to the house. He is a good owner of the house and we are becoming friends.

Christmas is all about giving back, I wish we all had that feeling 365 days a year. Try giving back some the rest of 2013.
