Occupancy is also quite seasonal and tied to school holidays.

Of the contacts that people have shared with me, I have not found a bank that would give me such great loans at such great rates without a seasoning period.  

Their air BnB integration broke my listings during peak ski season and they would not fix it.  

Starting my search but looking to purchase in the next 30 days before the season.

The fastest way to learn is to partner with a seasoned investor in your area who can prove he/she has completed numerous real estate investments using numerous purchase and sale strategies.

@David FerrerasFrom what I’ve seen the best time to get something rented is middle spring to early fall due to the PCS season here, but this again depends on who your target clients are.

Any advice from seasoned investors?

So now it's tax season.

I only leased the property for 6 months because the short summers here are the tourist season and I figured it much more difficult to find AirBNBers travelling here in the winter months.

Also if you choose to refinance someday, seasoned mortgage loans can easily fetch more competitve rates in the future.
