I own a 1/1 beach condo in StPete Fl that I rent seasonally to snow birds January-April, and rent intermittently on AirBnB during the summer season to best fill in the gaps while I'm travelling or offshore.

Keep in mind that we preach the BRRRR method incessantly here. 

I’ll also say that I don’t plan for this to be my forever home, but I will likely keep it as a long-term investment (so, I’ll be running numbers both as a house hack and as fully rented).Here are my assumptions -Neighborhood: northwest Akron area (Highland Square/Wallhaven/Northwest Akron)Home price (just an estimate): $140kProperty type: duplex/small multifamilyExpenses -Property taxes: ~$3640/yearHome owner’s insurance: $70/monthWater/sewer/trash: ~$100/unitGas: $76/unitElectricity: $107/unitLawn care/snow removal: $500/yearI realize there are several other expenses to take into consideration (maintenance and repairs, cap ex, property management for when/if the time comes, vacancy, etc.), but I’m most uncertain about the local expenses that I’ve lined out.Also, if there are expenses specific to the area that I’m missing, I’d appreciate the info!

I am wondering about snow removal and how others handle it for their properties?  

And as long as you've invested time in building systems and having some type of eyes on the ground (for example, in NH, my neighbor cleans and takes care of snow removal), it's a couple hours each week at most for the majority of guests.

My most profitable STR was my first vacation property which snow-balled into 5 properties and it was located in Oakland, CA. 

3% vacancy seems really low.What about internet, landscaping, snow removal, advertising costs, furniture, sheets, decorations, Matresses, business license, etc etc.

And no, winter does not = low tenancy, matter of fact some thrive best in winter as there focus is the ice-fishing, snow-machines etc.. 

However, I have a dilemma, they are now calling for 6-10 inches of snow this Saturday in my area.

Activity seems to pick up as soon as the snow melts.
