They work overtime Good lenders are passionate about what they do, even if it means taking a quick call (with reason) on the weekends or holiday.

It looks like I’m in famine mode in the slow season, which I didn’t think would arrive until winter.

During the slower winter months, we convert some STR properties to MTR. 

Columbus has all 4 seasons and it really is not that bad with the winter. 

He is always helpful and accountable,  shoveling snow alongside me on winter days, keeping me informed about issues as they come up, etc. 

Then look at mini-splits, which will help with the Winter heat too, then more window/bigger window/wall units, then lastly forced air.And NEVER give in to a tenant who threatens you. 

Once winter hits I'm assuming the water activities die down quite a bit. 

This was not on the inspection report and did not present as an issue until I went through my first winter season.

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. 

The moratoriumon evictions during the winter should be amended so that onlytenants who face job losses or other hardships are protected.
