Think of all the horror stories about tenants maxing out the heat with their windows open during the winter, deliberately running water bills up, etc.

I have more pictures of Christmas decorations  but of course some people book months ago for Christmas and Thanksgiving.Since Pogeon Forge is a huge holiday destination we get a couple Christmas pictures up year round.

Also, FYI, on most holidays Lowes does an .89 square foot install cost. 

Knocking out improvements over the holidays, and selling beginning of the year when interest rates drop and home prices increase due to demand.

Tennessee can get a little chilly in the winter months.But like you said.

We clean a few Airbnbs near here on Clifton Ave and they stay rented Spring, Summer, and Fall then slow down in the winter. 

The issue with RUBS is that it is fluid and it hinges on the # of occupants and this poses issues: 1) A child uses less than an adult; 2) a worker from home uses more than one that drives to work; 3) A couple may have a child during tenancy which they fail to divulge; 4) friends and family may visit for a few days during holidays.... etc. etc. etc.  --- and... these issues become issues for the other Tenant and then turns you into the constant 'utility police' because you constantly have to monitor # of occupants... eww. 50/50 is simple and simply understood and 100% while vacant is also simply understood.

Consider separate entrances, utilities split, and winter leasing strategies.

We travel there when we can and bust out projects but winter is coming and reliable teams are hard to come by (not to mention the financial concern).

Her problem only becomes my problem when a judge will not put them out in the Winter with Daddy in jail....
