Great, I'll give you a call after the holidays?

Then with summer options seeming more plentiful and again the demand driver cities, I can see getting about 80-90 days occupancy better (between winter long weekends maybe a couple of holiday weeks, and 4-6 summer peak weekly rentals). 

December is particularly attractive as a holiday-heavy month.Moderate Season: September to OctoberFall travel; you catch the end of the Summer season, the last hoorah's, then the preparation for ski season.

And if they are looking to leave, how concerned should I be that it's only 4 months away from the holidays when its harder to find tenants?

It's notorious for traffic issues during the holidays, not to mention the added fuss.

Now you could buy a property were your trip is also a holiday...

I've heard people say recently "Oh it's because of the Holidays" I do not buy that because the last 2 years prior were booming around this time!

My full time job is 30 hours per week (though with lots of nights, weekends, and holidays), but this allows me a lot of time for side projects, like real estate investing.  

I make 40k salary with all the perks to go with it.  3 weeks of paid vacation, paid holidays off, weekends off, big bonuses (about 7500-10,000 per year). 

Hi Mike, Happy Holidays!
