Leather is expensive but may be more durable.

I’m trying to avoid the winters.

And the pipes froze during the winter.

Anyways in Dec or Jan , bathroom pipe burst because they never switched on the heating or power, or shut down water - during the coldest winter Seattle has ever seen.

Its good to have a crawlspace vented, but less than ideal in winter time when air is dry anyways and cold because you are trying to heat your house.

You know that cautionary tale about the squirrel who stores up acorns for winter?

They have recently added staff to improve response rates, we have seen steady activity even this far into the winter and conversion from leads to tenants has improved as well.

My daughters new Lenox system lost both the blower & induction motors, middle of winter 8 months after the new install & had compressor problems every year there after & I believe there was a recall on it.

My STR property manager can run an income analysis broken out by projected monthly rents (winter, shoulder months, summer, etc.) if you're interested.Happy to help!

Heating costs go up in winter, as does electricity due to the reduced natural light and more people indoors.
