I’m a little concerned about off season rentals.

I have a few rentals with section 8, and they are professionally managed.

Hopefully, you find it helpful and qualifies us to assist you with your goals:)---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

This is 100% the most misunderstood aspect of rental income. 

Verifying last 2 years of rental history very important!

Metro Atlanta, generally speaking, respective markets 30 to 45 minutes from the City, will be tight on cash flow unless you implement a creative investment strategy, such as short-term rentals, medium-term rentals, or rent-by-the-room properties, or allocate at least 30% to 35% towards your downpayment if you intend to hold the property as a long-term rental. 

Verifying last 2 years of rental history very important!

Currently, we own one vacation rental in Duluth and one college rental. 

@Scott Trench - have you considered investing in short term rentals, materially participating, and having the average stay be less than 7 days?

Quote from @Jinxiang Xu: New to being a landlord, and already forked out $20k for foundation repair on this rental house.
