Wholesaling in Indiana during winter months

[Alain Perez-Majul]

Hey guys,

Was curious about this and figured I'd ask. Generally, real estate markets die down during the colder months of the year; although wholesaling is a completely different animal than having retail buyers buy/list their properties, are there any effect felt from the winter months in Indiana (or anywhere with and Indiana-ish winter, for that matter) when it comes to the amount of incoming leads?

Cheers!

Retail side does slow down, otherwise i dont see much drop.  Actually leads seem to pickup. Usually when tax bills come due and utility costs climb the absentee owners get panicky.  REOs get easier and close quicker it seems. 

I like personally having flips ready for close April and August but will buy whenever when the deal is there.
