I think the shoulder seasons are much harder to rent and the price goes down considerably. Both last year and this year I've gotten a ton of email for Jan - March, and many fewer for the other months. We've never considered a year long lease because we want to use it ourselves during March (that's why we bought!), and we come down a week at a time here and there at other times when it isn't rented. My guess, and it is only a guess, is that you'd end up clearing a little more with a year long lease because someone else would be paying for utilities, etc.
