Investing in the midwest (Northern Indiana)

[Reuben Stewart]

I wish someone would have told me about the snow...LOL

In Nov of 2013 i was blessed to have purchased my first out-of-state properties. (2 houses, in Merrillville Indiana..Im from CA by the way. I know these areas really well, i travel there about 3 times a year. I had it all planned out i researched every aspect of it, had a little team on the ground. I had family helping with marketing, visiting properties etc. Found some really nice deals, i got them under contract and with all of these brains working together NO-ONE warned me about the snow...LOL Its been almost 3 months and i havent been able to much at all.

Just curious to know how investors on the east coast, midwest or where ever it snows for a long period of time are able to keep the cycle moving during those periods?
