The loan process doesn't take long, get your stips lined up in advance that's the slowest part of the refi.

To try to keep the cost to a minimum or free I'm looking to see which night of the week is the slowest night that we might be able to bring them some business.

And they are my youngest and slowest paying tenants. 

I build from the ground up, first part is messing with the city(s) getting it developed with the civil engineer and the actual building plans permitted (that is hands down the riskiest up-nerving and slowest part)...

We are coming into the slowest quarter for home sales, and possibly heading into a market pull back, so the pressure is on the seller. 

We stay 95%+ full in summers, and our two slowest seasons (Sep-Nov and March-May) we are between 65%-80%. 

However, it gives the tenant full control over when they want to vacate the premises, which could lead to scrambling to fill a vacancy on the slowest times of the year, such as November and December.

By the time you average out the California with the Midwest and the East Coast - it does not make sense anymore.Even my local markets behave so differently: in some parts of Milwaukee we have some inventory (about 2 months worth), in Cedarburg houses sell within 24 hours (right now, right after Thanksgiving, "slowest time of the year") while Mequon has a two year supply of mansions for sale that nobody wants.

My leases all say the stove and wall unit AC are provided as extras, and if they break the tenant is responsible for replacement....HOWEVER...I hit the tenant lottery like 3 years ago...and my slowest tenant pays about on the 2nd day of the month, and no problems...sooo...I've replaced two stoves on my dime, because these people are good, and i want them to stay.

In fact, I have 5 listings coming up in the next week for fellow investors where traditionally the month of November thru January is slowest time of year.
