I’m sure January 1is more ideal but then it really screws up their holiday season and just makes you look mean if they don’t stay and have to move between Christmas and New Year.

Happy to organize a local meet up after the holidays!

That way, I avoid trying to find a new tenant during the holidays and Texas winter months.By having 5 of the 9 tenants on month to month, you have the flexibility of raising rent on just one or a few of the 5 tenants at a time.

Then we have over half of November and December booked with the longest booking occurring right around the holidays.

Our November meet up might be affected by the holidays, I'll be sure to post again a couple days prior to would love to have everybody there!

Help! Total Newb here. My husband and I recently finished remodeling the other half of our duplex and are ready to rent it out, Yay first house hack!!..I The rehab took way longer than I thought..duh..So we missed the...

The Holidays is a bit of a down time so if you want to get in now is a good time!

Since we are getting so close to Thanksgiving and the Holidays/winter it will be more difficult to find a tenant.Since the tenant will be on a month to month it gives you a lot more flexibility to decide when they need to leave - see my recent response to the post “Mostly Month to Month Tenants in Multifamily - Big Red Flag?”.
