Wholesaling in Columbus Ohio and in Cold Climates

Hello fellow investors.  My Business partner and I are just starting out in Real Estate Investing.  My question is for other Real Estate Investors in colder climates. I understand that every market is different.... But how much slower might we expect wholesaling and flipping during early winter months? Please share some of your experiences. 


Thank you! 

Marco

@Marco Stack-Simone, it's true that retail purchases/sales slow down in the winter. However, investors are working year round. If you have a good deal, you should have no problem finding a buyer. A rehabber will probably have to account for a little extra time to sell the property, so you may want to figure that into your wholesale price. But I know I'm perfectly happy to work on a flip over the winter so that I can have something to list to retail buyers when the weather warms.
