This is great. Thank you all for the feedback. I'm brand new to investing and relatively new to the midwest, so I wasn't sure how the harsh climate impacted construction. This helps a bunch! 

Hi everyone - I was curious on what peoples thoughts are with flipping houses during the winter in cold weather states (ie: Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, etc). Does the severe weather create limitations for finding GC's or hamper their ability to get work done in the harsh conditions? Or does the weather not have as big an impact on their work as I'm picturing in my head? 

I would imagine exterior work like landscaping, siding, roofing, etc would be impacted a good bit. Any thoughts or feedback from those that have expereince in this area is greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Thank you all for the replies and for the encouragement! Excited to be a part of this great community! 

Hi everyone,

First-time poster and new to the Real Estate game! A little about myself - 36 years old, living in Minneapolis for about 2 years now (originally from South Carolina), spent my career thus far in tech sales, and I'm really excited to begin my REI journey. Spent the last several months reading books (BRRR, How to Invest in RE, Book on Rental Property Investing, Book on Flipping Houses, etc), listening to podcasts, scouring the MLS, and trying to get as much education as possible. I'm at the point now where I need to get out of the "analysis paralysis" stage and start taking some concrete steps towards my first deal.

I'm mainly interested in single or mutli-family rentals or even a fix & flip. I have a good chunk of savings built up, a good W2 income, and excellent credit history.

More than anything, I'm excited to meet and network with all of you in the BP community, build some relationships, learn a bunch of new things, and maybe even form some win-win partnerships!
