Keep in mind that the list price is just an ice breaker in most cases but you have to be willing to make a deal happen by knowing what you want, at what price, and under what terms.

Cold weather adds challenges that come with snow, ice and high heating bills.

Many deals are getting bid up to about that threshold and according to my numbers after everything there is about $20-25k to be made (if purchased cash) on a house being sold for about $130k-150k If using hard money, would you bid this high or is the ice too thin?

I consider appreciation icing on the cake.

I did it for the experience, any profit he cuts my way after closing is icing on the cake. 

We quickly learned that students will always opt for paying less, but won't actually shovel the drive (adequately) - come February the build-up of ice at the mouth of the driveways would be sufficient that their cars will hang-up.Similarly, we handle mowing of lawns and raking of leaves.

Icing on the cake when you inherit some.good ones. 

If you sell, you'll have to pay costs associated with the sale and then (since you have no equity) you'll walk away with nothing.If you hold, your tenants will pay off your mortgage and you can refi or sell later and actually turn the equity into cash.Cashflow is icing on the cake.I think you'd be well served to revisit finding a property manager.

We are scheduled for concrete pour tomorrow but I am not sure if I should cancel it for reason below:1) temperature is dropping soon if I delay and concrete might not set right.2) my wife is giving birth sometime next week which results in further delay and I just wanted to get this project done with.3) winter is coming and if I don’t finish the walkway, hard for tenant to shovel, ice forms and it’s dangerous.What do you think I should do, delay or move forward with the concrete pour?

You are right if people don't want to be helped you can't, but If you can make money and help those that do want help it's icing on the cake.
