https://www.zillow.com/research/october-2024-rent-report-345...It's normal for the market to slow down in winter, especially right around Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Leaving AC units in all winter etc.  

I do not visit them as often especially during winter months due to the distance.

Not sure why they would turn the heat off in the winter but in any case that shouldn't cause mold in freezing temperatures.

If you have zero vacancies, zero tenant damage, make sure utilities (especially heat) stay on every winter even if the tenant doesn’t pay.  

I believe it would have been up another .5%, but we canceled guests across all properties three times last winter when the weather predicted 4 to 7 inches of snow.

If after 18 months I don't do this, then the loan is re-amortized and the monthly payment would increase.It seems like a good deal, and an easy selling point to a potential buyer - "hey, your energy bill will be $100 each month even in the winter, and then once you've paid off the panels you've got free energy!"

It's still technically "holiday season" and while everyone is hanging out with family/not thinking about work...naturally it's time for me purchase rental property #2...plus the market is a little easier on buyers in the Winter...I've secured financing and am currently looking for another property in Indianapolis.But don't worry, I'll continue to update this thread with any pertinent information regarding this specific property.Happy Holidays everyone and Happy Investing!

I won't get into too many details since the list would be long, but in 2021 I bought a house in Tucson for a part-time escape from Washington state winters while Airbnb'ing it the rest of the time.

Let tenants know you'll keep it between a certain range of X - X in the summer or winter months.
