We would basically be there in the winter and here in Maine in the summer/fall (June-Octoberish).It has a decent airport with lots of flights to Atlanta (my wife travels a lot for her job and uses Delta). 

Selling in the dead of winter? 

@Marc Winter, maybe in your country you can change locks on an occupied unit.

My plan is to spend all of next winter talking to every lender I can about what they're willing to do for me. 

I've driven in Seattle many times and the roads are narrow, twisty, hilly and wet and the "sun" goes down by 4:00pm in the winter.

On a different topic, I was sad this AM when at Lowe's, they didn't have seed one for winter gardens. 

We are really excited our 1st investment property, a vacation rental in Ocean City, Maryland, is going so well this year we will have a chunk of change to put into a second investment property this fall/winter!

Mark, I have a 4,000 sq/ft home and I heat it in the winter with one pellet stove.

More visits in summer and less in winter. 

It's a BEAUTIFUL place and they rent it out during the winter.
