Annoying this time of year too since rental season has about 2-3 months left until it stagnates through the winter.

If its starting to get cold in your area, you'll need to have the heat on or have the unit winterized.

I have most of the work done on this house already but thought i'd leave the painting and flooring until over the winter.

Does the rental market slow down in the winter?

Last Saturday there were 3 women who came out of a van dressed in leather and they had a goat on a leash and they went into your building".

Being prepared is a good thing and considering where I live we tend to get ice storms in the winter, I do tend to stock up a bit as winter approaches.

The only thing that I would do is to insure that the tenant still has heat on for the winter, so that the pipes don't freeze.

I am originally from Pittsburgh Pa moved to Orlando lived there for 22 years, then moved here to northern Az (don't like the winters here).
