In analyzing the utility bills with my energy consultant, we found that the electric usage was just as high during the winter as it was during the summer. 

We had trouble finding good tenants earlier in the winter, so we pulled our listing off Zillow for a few weeks and then relisted our property yesterday with a 3% lower rent.

Winters are in the 55-70 almost everyday and sunshine.My vote Phoenix!!!

Not to be obvious but make sure tenants are not leaving windows open in the winter.

However since I put in 135k in renovations and my house was literally the only renovated house for lease in a large and desirable area, I threw it up for rent at $3900/mo on Zillow just before the holidays to see what bites I would get.

I thought the market was going to crash at the beginning of COVID, then again before the holidays, however everything just keeps going up.  

Last winter was a bit slow but with everything happening right now this winter stayed very busy for us. 

The first property I bought there is in the rehab phase right now, and it's taking longer than I anticipated due to the holidays, and of course: COVID. 

Hi! Is anyone in here in the hotel or motel space and want to help me figure out how much I can pay for a building?
