What might have been said to you at some point, is that some lenders require "seasoning" before they will lend on that property ( a flip).

Fall and Winter season has always been the best time for my investors to get better purchase prices for the hold. 

Remember that RV can be seasonal and not normally long term.

I been having two or three seasonal jobs for a few years.

We can hang onto the hard money loan for a bit and sell the property, but would prefer to cash out.Lastly - does anyone know if it's possible to cash out refinance without the "seasoning" period?

I wouldn't consider myself seasoned, but from my numbers, those numbers equal out to just over $100/unit. 

Nope just having the license does not allow you to get tax treatment like a licensed agenttalk to your CPA  I would tag some BP CPA's as this is an easy question but its tax season and they are all busy I suspect.you have to actually work in the industry a certain amount of hours per month or week.. you don't have to actually make any or much money but you do have to put effort and work in to take the deductions. 

Additionally, March is not the optimal time of year to list a rental, so advertised rates would not reflect peak season rental rates-- those occur during the summer months when families with school age children can move.

I would consider house hacking and taking advantage of my access to college students seeking rentals, but since I am graduating sooner than a year (FHA seasoning period) and am quite uncertain as to where the job market will take me after graduation I plan to wait and learn in the meantime.

David Rutledge As others have stated, different lending institutions have different "seasoning" requirements when it comes to recognizing rental income.
