Assumption is it'll average out with few months of nothing then between summer/winter site visit.

My Market & Property selection criteria are: City should exhibit both economic & population growthB or higher grade neighborhoodMix of rental & owner occupied homes in the neighborhoodReview crime-ratesAvoid cities with harsh winters (issues with pipes, liability, salt, etc)Price range of 75-125K Thanks all in advance!

Come visit in the winter before deciding to relocate (I highly recommend picking up an outdoor winter activity and a January vitamin D bath in Hawaii).

Although I definitley don't miss the brutal winters, there is something to be said about a city with so much culture and diversity.

There are high and low season rates, and of course you make most of your money in the high winter season.Remodel your condo really nicely, and you will get bookings regardless of view.

It is July, and markets around here really cool off with the cool air of winter.

please explain the return with this math,, what am i missing,, i can buy a 100k lot, build a 1000 sf house, be in around 20000, run off vrbo, and gross 18000, more if i rent out in note offseason, (winter) ,  so explain why this would not be a better deal,, can put up two houses, on same 5 acres,,be in 300,000  with 36k rent... 

It's -30 degrees here in the winter.

The other side to this is, if I go with electric heating the cost to the tenants during the winter will be astronomical, this will in turn drive the tenants away and they will search for better housing. 

The second floor are creating a little trouble, and I wouldn't mind canceling their lease before the winter starts.My question is, how do you prove the above?
