I prefer buying during this time of year as the prices are usually lower and the competition is taking a nap because they generally do not want to move in the winter. :)Also, keep in mind that rent rates are also generally lower in the "winter" months so you may not get peak rent from your current home. 

Hey Bob, I remember when you flew to town, I'm glad you liked the area and saw the value.our weather is polar opposite of that, lol I lived in SD and ND for a while and I hated the winters because it was FREEZING, so I understand, everything is more difficult in the snow and ice.

PM can adjust during the winter as needed. 

I anticipate that late fall and early winter could present some good opportunities for those looking to pick up short-term rentals (STRs).One thing to keep in mind, as with most markets right now, is that return on investment (ROI) isn’t going to be sky-high.

After securing the deal, the buyer made my wife and I go through three-feet deep of snow to "winterize" the house so there wouldn't be any plumbing issues.It was a 2 hour drive there, and a 2 hour drive back.So much time and effort put into it for only $4k...

Is it going to be rented in the winter time? 

We receive most of our leads from Furnished Finder with an uptick in Airbnb traffic for the peak winter months.

In one instance a housing inspector outright attempting  to extort me by failing an inspection and demanding I repaint a house in the middle of winter unless I met him at the property to "work it out."

They could not live in the cabin but can stay long-term from November through February to appeal to winter Texans, and that is when we are slower.
