Should I rent for 6 months?

Have a house I was planning on using as a long term rental, but been asked if I would rent it for 6 months. Obviously I would charge more for this (research shows 25% - 35% over LTR rate), and I wouldn't be furnishing the house. If I were to rent for 6 moths, the lease would end Feb/March time frame given its almost September now. Its always been my understanding that renting in the winter months can be challenging compared to spring/summer. Whats your take on this? Stick to LTR or see how this goes as a MTR?
