The catch is it must be vacant 90 days and winters in Vermont are expensive to heat the building so the pipes don't freeze requiring costly plumbing repairs.So this property may be eligible for up to $130k in grant money and rental income guaranteed by the state!

A simple one page option saying. 1) I understand because of your circumstances you’d like to lease  MTM.2) I don’t usually do MTM leases and it’s harder to lease my property in the “winter”3) because you’ve been such good tenants I’d be willing to make an exception for you at the rate of $x+$200 with the stipulation your provide more at least a 31 day notice to give me time to find a new tenant.

The area attracts many vacationers during the summer months, and if you are able to get some winter renters from Oct - March its a win/win.

I gave an interview to Axios last winter where I detailed the likely outcomes.

@Marc Winter another tactic is to get the broker on the phone if they seem to have a lot of questions that puts you in less of a bad position.

My goal is to buy properties in both Florida and Michigan so that I can escape the cold MI winter and hot FL summers.

It's dead in the winter and spring's not a ton better.

The panhandle is seasonal - busy in summer for beaches, slow in winter because it’s too cold.

Rentals are obviously not as crazy as peak COVID times, however even in winter we're still having most weekends booked out with the odd midweek booking here and there. 

I could see in NJ where you would want to because the winter time is dead.
