Buying in the winter in Boston/Massachusetts

[Darryl Jennings]

I am looking to get out there and buy my FIRST property. I currently need to get qualified for a loan, but I understand that pre approvals only last a couple of months. If that is the case, how do you go about looking for deals headed into winter time when it is snowing? Should I wait until it gets closer to spring? I feel that even if I do lock down a deal in the winter the chances of finding tenants quickly are slim due to the season. I'm pretty sure savvy investors can work with this, how do you go about it?
