A few weeks before the end of the lease, send them a check out list of what they need to do (eg ensure all of their contents have been removed, carpets professionally cleaned, fridge and stove clean, etc) and when they need to be out by. 

I always tell them Balboa is raising the rent this year or let me check with Balboa and I will get back to you.

It's a good idea to check with your insurance provider, as renting out rooms can change your coverage needs.

Listing at the end of the year definitely has some quirks, but it’s not all bad.Pros:Less competition — fewer homes hit the market around the holidays, so your listing can stand out.Buyers looking in December are usually serious (relocations, tax timing, year-end closings).Contractors and stagers are easier to schedule right before winter slows them down.Cons:Foot traffic slows — fewer casual buyers touring.Weather can kill curb appeal depending on your market (gray skies, snow, etc.).People mentally check out around Thanksgiving through New Year, so marketing has to work harder.If you finish rehab by end of November, I’d list right away.

That's what I'm thinking too but I haven't seen this anywhere in my research so wanted to check in with the community.

That’s the difference between chasing checks and building a business.

I do check frequently to make sure the access to the buildings remains properly shoveled and do clean up shoveling if necessary. 

In the mean time check out the state laws for wholesaling in your market.

Check out the local listings, as well as the local recently sold properties.
