Hey everyone,
I am very close to purchasing my first SFH in the Edmonton area, however one thing has been holding me back. I am unsure if it would be prudent to purchase a SFH in October as I have heard that trying to place tenants in November/winter can be somewhat challenging (especially since my ideal tenant profile is families with school-aged kids). So my options are:
1. Purchase home in October (and hope I will be able to rent it out sooner than later)
2. Wait until next year for a more opportune time to rent (ie spring/summer)
Does anyone have any experience in placing tenants during the early winter months? I am hoping to avoid a long vacancy on my first rental property and any input or experience would be appreciated!
