Fairly cold winters (30's with some snow days).

Solar generates aprox $250/mo in credits; some months I generate more than I use, so bill is $0, other months bill varies b/c I use more than I generate (think winter), some months I use excess credits generated from other months (say May I generate more than I use, but June I use more than I generate), but it's still $0 b/c just using those excess credits.

I think so too.....It was a rough winter everywhere!

I 100% agree that the Oceanfront or Oceanview would rent better and more frequently, especially in our "Off-Season" winter months.

The gas bill was $500-800 p/mo over the winter.

@Doniel Winter do I understand that correctly to be saying that you would need that permit to rent out a room within your home on AirBnb?

Kangaroo Plumbing , Have had nothing but great experience with them on of my rentals.Always make sure to locate the valves to stop flow to outside water lines and drain/turn them off before winter.

Thanks @Brandon SturgillWell the house has been empty since June 2020 and set at 60 degrees during winter.

The furnace went out in the middle of winter.

But then others also told me that Winter Haven, Davenport or Lakeland would be safer bets.
