I have a couple shoulder season months but I also get week + bookings in the high seasons.

I live in Florida, but statutes make me have to have a degree of seasoning before being considered the owner by the time of the sale.

Tax season is coming up and we want to start investing in our next property.

However, I would make sure that the lender you are going to will allow for these solutions (some lenders have seasoning requirements for funds in the bank)

The cool thing about those is you can pick everyone's brain from seasoned investors and agents to aspiring real estate junkies. 

I'm planning on fixing it up during the slow / winter season and start airbnb'n it as soon as the nice weather hits.

Numbers work out as:Monthly Payment - 1300Cash Flow - 867 (after management 10%, maintenance 10%, vacancy 5%)ROI - 16.76% (this is after buying with cash)I am going to try and season the property for the next 6-12 months and then pull my money out of the property.  

It is way too general and definitely not something a seasoned investor would use to budget out a rehab in my opinion. 

I recently purchased a small seasonal rental in Lexington, Michigan (a beach town), and have been seeing alot of very good-looking deals in two-family homes near the Hospital and College campus in Port Huron: two-flats for under $70K, (average rents for 1/1 $550; for a 2/1 $650-750) low taxes, recent capital improvements,  BUT, I've also read alot of negative forums regarding crime, and the crime statistics for Port Huron are WAY higher (in certain parts of the City) than either the Michigan or the national average.Anybody have any insight into what's going on in Port Huron, Michigan?
