Cold Climate and rehab strategies
I live in a cold climate - in Minneapolis, MN and am just getting started in real estate. Where I live, the weather can affect outdoor work significantly. If there's anyone who lives in a cold weather area, how does it affect your investment strategy? Do you consider the timing of your offers, the type of deal that you look for, or any other considerations?

DuWayne, I love the winter because of this mentality! Winter is the best time to get out and find deals while everyone else is inside sitting by the fire. Fix up and sell/rent by spring/summer when the market gets hot!
