And we do bigger trips during the winter.

Plus, I like to get on the HOA boards and that's fun, too. 

If you have a multi-family property, then you have to figure out how to make the tenants share the responsibility or you hire someone to handle it for them.You have to consider insulation, maintenance of weather stripping on doors and windows, servicing the boiler/furnace, winterizing sprinkler systems, disconnecting garden hoses from hose bibs, and much more.It's very risky to manage rentals from a distance.

If the houses have appreciated a lot, you may want to stagger when you sell them so they are in different tax years and time it so they sell quickly (ie don't list in the middle of winter).The market also changes. 

We’re well into summer, but 7% mortgage rates and still-rising home prices have put a winter chill on transaction volumes.The national Buyer Activity sub-index dropped 8 points to 37 in July 2024, after having dropped 6 points to 45 in June 2024.

Houston, TX offers job growth, affordable housing, and tax benefits, while Cincinnati, OH has high cash flow, affordability, and tenant demand but faces slower population growth and cold winters.

Dual agency is sorted, all that fun. 

The water in the Intracoastal in South Florida is much higher at high tide than it was when I was a kid, the summers ARE hotter and the winters are shorter.

Like you said - be honest.Enforcing rules is not always fun or easy but its part of the job.

Late fall and winter are best, but you won’t have the options you would in the early spring time.
