In your market, it misses the arrival of winter which has got to be a positive. 

Sounds great @Jake Winters I'll send you my email.

It's been slower this winter than previous winters seems like just the top rentals are busy though.

My favorites were when In 1982, Dick Mackey, Warner Vent, Jerry Austin, and their teams were driven into the forest by a charging moose. 

@Dave GrimsonI have done this before only during winter months where it is a pain to find good tenants quickly.  

On the other hand if you prefer a more peaceful area that will also attract guests, our market has communities that are more spread out and may also have a forest or lake view.

Then, that winter, the steam heat system froze, and we got a call from a neighbor about a giant icicle hanging off the back of the house.

@Marc Winter.  

I believe it would increase overall investment demand with our  landlord/tenant laws being significantly more landlord friendly than CA, property taxes not reassessing on the sale, consistent job and population growth, proximity to Lake Tahoe, and temperatures that are not as cold as Tahoe in the Winter but are cooler Sacramento or Las Vegas in the summer. 

However I would prefer to stick to south and south east states for a warmer climate in the winter months.
