Florida should be busy currently with people staying in the Winter to get away from the cold & snow. 

While there are fewer native Austinites left, if you find them—especially older residents—they can be an invaluable resource for inside information.Get involved locally: Once the tourists and college students leave for summer or holidays, you’ll realize Austin is still a small town at heart.

In the peak season the math is better.We started charging MTR a bit more for the four biggest holiday weekends of the year. 

Hi all,I am new to the BP community and would like feedback / pointers on how to learn more about potentially getting an out of state winter home / STR investment property in Jacksonville Beach, Florida. 

I'm from NY looking at Jacksonville since we would like to visit during the winter months as well. 

Quote from @April Smalls: Due to Holidays, there arent many events or networking opportunites. have you posted in the classifieds the deal you are looking to fund?

The off peak is late winter/early spring (March to May) and we've had no less than 30% occupancy with an average of around 45%. 

@Gash Nookala,Renting can indeed be slower in winter, but here are some tips to boost interest:Enhance Listing: Ensure your listing has detailed descriptions and high-quality photos—consider professional photography if needed.Competitive Pricing: Double-check local comps; even a slight price adjustment or incentives (like a reduced deposit) could attract more interest.Broaden Marketing: Beyond Zillow, Hemlane, and MLS, use social media, community boards, and local business connections to reach a wider audience.Flexible Lease Terms: Offering shorter or month-to-month leases might appeal to tenants during this slower season.Local Property Manager: A local pro can tap into their network and help fill the vacancy faster.These steps should help you find a tenant despite the seasonal slowdown.

Every small relief in rates triggers a rush of buyer traffic, I would take advantage of this fall and winter before the cyclical spring market rush.  

Easier to do with a duplex year by year, but when I rented to students I would quickly renovate for winter break.
