Is it going to be rented in the winter time? 

We receive most of our leads from Furnished Finder with an uptick in Airbnb traffic for the peak winter months. 

After securing the deal, the buyer made my wife and I go through three-feet deep of snow to "winterize" the house so there wouldn't be any plumbing issues.It was a 2 hour drive there, and a 2 hour drive back.So much time and effort put into it for only $4k...

Mainly raw land with utilities already on site, or properties that have been vacant for 10+ years, that would be a 50/50 on demo or rehab.The other fun fact that I learned at the sale:  the tax foreclosure only wipes out the tax included in the judgement years.

Cancun sounds like a lot of fun but the logistics and cost of it (and need for a passport) excluded a lot of people. 4.

My plan is to monitor those rental listings during the fall and winter seasons, and see which units are more consistently booked.

And you can make it a fun day - you can have breakfast at iHop and have a big omelet, take a cup of coffee with you from 7-11 for the walkthrough.

Fun time to be in.

They could not live in the cabin but can stay long-term from November through February to appeal to winter Texans, and that is when we are slower.

Landlording's not fun anymore.
