We installed an oversized pool heater at one of our own FL properties and it is a huuuuge draw in the winter!!!!

This is extremely troublesome during the hard Colorado winter weather.

It's beautiful...a dozen fishing cabins in Northern Minnesota on an entire peninsula of a lake surrounded by state forest land.  

I'm also moving to the MTR strategy as we go to the fall/winter seasons here in Denver. 4 months out of the year it's reeeaaal slow as an STR, but MTR strat could keep things more afloat.Cheers,Ian

As I mentioned in my original post on here, the warmer summer months will take care of themselves, but if you want to have the STR operating all year round, the winter months require much more effort to make your property a place people will want to visit and stay even when the weather gets nasty.Nothing against VRBO, but I would also take a few minutes to check out what listings are available on Airbnb as well. 

Maybe a PB court in the summer and a hot tub on the court in the winter? 

I guess it's forest view?  

Depending on where it is, I might work with Section 8 housing in my town (Winter Haven) or set up STRs in the other 3.

Basically parked in a field overlooking the fields and forests.

If you're able to invest in a market where people usually go for vacation in the winter like FL, AZ, Carolinas potentially, then you can get something soon and immediately be renting it and getting a return on your investment this fall.
