buying in summer vs winters

[Roy Mitle]

Typically I have seen that my friends have more difficulty renting their property if they buy in winters than summer. There are more people willing to move in summer because of schools etc. so the rent is much higher. However prices are higher in summer from what I can see.

What strategies do people employ if they buy in winter and have to rent out for less. Typically you will have a yearly lease so it'll be more difficult to raise rents or get a new tenant in summer.
