During winter your condensate line p-trap (if there is even one) may dry up.Your HVAC system should run under positive pressure, so I think it's more likely that former than the latter, though don't rule anything out.  

Rental Property Investor from Jacksonville, FLPREVIOUS POSTWhy I sold Cleveland.If you're a real estate podcast junkie like me, you definitely have noticed the clear shift towards real estate syndication in the multi-family space over the last couple of years especially.As deals became harder to find in single family and smaller multis across much of the desirable markets,the allure of pooling investor funds to acquire larger assets became a sort of self-fulfilling prophecy.Books that were mostly hurriedly written flooded the market pimping the upsides of this strategy.The argument for was simple and convincing:it is better to own 1% of a large deal than 0% of no deal.Personally,I could not help but notice that the popularity of the idea coincided with the rise of real estate crowdfunding.The likes of Realty Shares and Realty Mogul raised a bajillion dollars practically overnight making it very easy for everyday real estate aficionados to own small bites of a mega deal in rural Tennessee at the click of a mouse.A few of my friends experimented with the crowd-funding route, tossing $5000 into this debt offer and $10,000 into that equity offering.These punts yielded mixed results anecdotally, as an equal number seemed to have great experiences to share as did absolute nightmares.To be fair, no real estate niche is 100% fail-safe or iron clad.Money has been lost in a large single family portfolio as well as a personally purchased medium sized apartment complex.It is also certainly true that in the end, every investor will run out of money to invest in more properties if they decide to go it alone trying to rapidly scale up their portfolio, and real estate is most assuredly a team sport at all levels.

Being that it is the slow season here in Minnesota, we are entertaining the idea of having expenses covered over the winter.

Yes, it gives flexibility and allows for easier rent adjustments, but we’ve learned the hard way that if a tenant decides to leave during winter, it can be extremely difficult to fill a vacancy.

I currently work in the construction field for a small company where we specialize in home rehabs — mainly porches, siding, and roofs during the summer, and interior remodels in the winter.

Historically, rents dip a bit in the fall and winter but this year the decline is noticeably sharper than normal, especially for single-family homes which usually hold steady even when condos and townhomes soften.Over the past few months, I have had several properties that were renting at one price in spring or early summer, only to come back to market this fall and lease for $100-$150 less.

Our competition - not in reality, but on paper/on the computer screen where people can't objectively compare what they are getting - is a lot of other people who have owned for many years, don't really keep the places up beyond a bare minimum, and just want to have it full 75% of the time so they can use it in the winter or for holidays.

I would also research if you can evict with kids in winter in your state.  

So I don't think all of it is economic (although we are seeing a higher renewal rate so that may mean more folks sticking in place) we do always see a significant drop in applicant quality in the winter months though and that is almost universal for us every winter.
