Unlike Vegas, where tourism can be hit-or-miss depending on conventions or events, Florida’s Panhandle delivers steady demand every season.

Structuring your lease in this way would benefit you by 1) locking in a longer term contract to avoid turnover costs and vacancy loss; 2) it moves your lease end date out of the winter season and into spring/summer of 2026 so it can be more easily marketed and re-rented to match the seasonal demand cycle; and 3) it avoids any upset/angry tenants who may have been incorrectly assuming their rent was going to stay in the $1,200 range after their first 6-month lease term.Would love to hear any updates you have on how this one shakes out for you though!

Just wanted the opinion of more seasoned investors.

Will be a better question for your CPA in my opinion, they'll have better visibility into what strategy will work best before filing season and EOY.
