Will you check Cleveland weather all winter from sunny FL worrying about snow, freezing pipes, if your downspouts are working? 

As a landlord, I prefer minimum 1-year lease as I don't want turnovers, and I renew it with full-year renewals, not defaulting to month-to-month, as I do not like winter turnovers.      

The paper was a notice that the house was winterized and it looked empty.

My husband would definitely want to use it once per month (even in winter) since he is a reservist in the coast guard there.Do we boost our retirement fund by taking a more conservative approach at home, or do we get a property in PCB that allows us to pretend we're already retired for 2-4 days a month?

At that time Tucson was a mix between a college town and a place for retirees to visit in the winter months.

From what I have seen, houses generally sell faster and for more during this time of the year, then say the fall and winter months. 

I've spent this whole winter in Oahu and absolutely love the island!

Addressing the problems is like trying to put out small individual fires in a forest that is burning.

@Eric Winters - To me, that's really going to depend on what you need?

HUD pays companies to winterize  vacant homes and I have not gotten 1 yet that was properly done.
