BiggerPockets is full of resources designed to help you along your journey, whether you are just getting started or a seasoned investor.

Structuring your lease in this way would benefit you by 1) locking in a longer term contract to avoid turnover costs and vacancy loss; 2) it moves your lease end date out of the winter season and into spring/summer of 2026 so it can be more easily marketed and re-rented to match the seasonal demand cycle; and 3) it avoids any upset/angry tenants who may have been incorrectly assuming their rent was going to stay in the $1,200 range after their first 6-month lease term.Would love to hear any updates you have on how this one shakes out for you though!

Nothing worse than ordering the appraisal and credit and then realizing your loan won't work for that particular lender because of reserves or seasoning or an equity stake that didn't get taken into consideration.All the bestStephanie

Just wanted the opinion of more seasoned investors.

Will be a better question for your CPA in my opinion, they'll have better visibility into what strategy will work best before filing season and EOY. 

The entire portfolio is also actively booked with guests with the busiest season coming in the beginning of the year (bookings already in place). 

There are a few folks out there encouraging some seasoning. 

@Marc Shin We're funding cash out refis for a lot of our most experience BRRRR clients right around day 91 (to pass 90 days of title seasoning) where we get the process started (appraisal, title, application, etc) around day 60  (plus or minus) when they have the place fully renovated and at least listed for rent (we'll use appraisers opinion of market rent to calculate DSCR). 

Work, family and the holiday season have kept me busy.

Still strong but lots of competition, so you need to research what works: good pics, seasonal pricing, amenities, etc.
