I don't like that they are empty in an area with freezing temps.

If the temp was too high, they'd open a window, of course playing games to get the thermostat cranked up. 

Any advice on how to compensate the temp vrbo renter? 

I own a rental 3br 2ba rental income home in Tempe AZ and I'm considering scenarios after my renter just gave 30 days notice.

I'm considering taking a chance on a tenant who has only been at their "Kohls Warehouse" job since beginning of October... everything seems to check out but theres a big concern on what if this job is seasonal or temp...

I don't want to leave the 80 degree winter temps but I'd sure like to have the benefits of an oil well or two.The answer is "probably not" in both cases, unless you hire someone locally to help.

The Tempe area seems like a great area to house hack if I could find some students that are looking for housing.

If the singles are currently in decent shape (not curling) You can fur out w 2x4s and put steel on top, however, temps very drastically from MI to AZ so u need to make sure the home breaths adequately.
