@Gash Nookala,Renting can indeed be slower in winter, but here are some tips to boost interest:Enhance Listing: Ensure your listing has detailed descriptions and high-quality photos—consider professional photography if needed.Competitive Pricing: Double-check local comps; even a slight price adjustment or incentives (like a reduced deposit) could attract more interest.Broaden Marketing: Beyond Zillow, Hemlane, and MLS, use social media, community boards, and local business connections to reach a wider audience.Flexible Lease Terms: Offering shorter or month-to-month leases might appeal to tenants during this slower season.Local Property Manager: A local pro can tap into their network and help fill the vacancy faster.These steps should help you find a tenant despite the seasonal slowdown.

To further boost occupancy and revenue, consider revisiting a dynamic pricing tool like PriceLabs, as it works best with more time and data to adjust rates competitively.

@Shawn TumaFrom my experience, you can boost rental income and manage mortgage costs by targeting value-add properties and exploring mid-term, short-term, or room-by-room rentals.

Sometimes pulling out equity and reinvesting it elsewhere..maybe in a smaller, more agile asset..can give you the cash flow boost you’re after without giving up a solid property.Improving the property’s current performance by making it more appealing to tenants or tweaking lease structures could give you a nice bump.

Are you planning to hold as-is and focus on cash flow, or do you have a strategy for infill, increasing rents, or improving park infrastructure to boost value?
