For one, it's just a bad time of year for rentals - winter means cold and holidays and spending money.Two, yes Section 8 tenants can have issues just like any others.

While going into the fall/winter months landlords need to be competitive with fewer tenants moving during these seasons.  

Ideally underground or at least covered for the winters.

Look at this past winter , i would be awfully damn warm on your dime , Maryland summers can be just as bad sometimes .

What if a heater goes in the mid of winter?

I have a short term rental on the north shore and it does very well in the summer but slower in the winter.

Demand is typically lower in winter months, particularly around the holidays, so a wise investor/PM will lower the price to keep occupancy rates up and then bump rates higher in the summer months.

Also, the feedback was, since it's winter, the outside water temperature is so cold, and the water may not be fully heating up.

I'm from MN and our plan is to winter in Florida in about 3 years.
