Depending on the house and location, it is quite easy to rent out your home during the high season of Jan/Feb/March. The shoulder months are a little harder - Nov/Dec and April. Those months would rent at a reduced rate. The off season, May, June, July, Aug, Sept and Oct are much harder to rent out and get a much lower price. The closer to one of the square and grocery stores, etc the better and easier to rent out. I had terrible luck with the property managers. They easily rented the house out during the high season but didn't even try during the shoulder or off season. They also overlooked damage to the house, gave back the security deposit and as a result, it cost be several thousand of dollars. It is easier to do it myself, although more work, and I get it rented almost year round.
