I remember when I completed my first ground-up new construction here in Chicago - FELT AMAZING to finish.Our biggest lessons learned were around getting the water service done early on because of our harsh winters and making sure we keep our designer in check! 

@Marc Winter we are  struggling with this exact issue on carpet vs laminate but being a second floor condo sometimes its noise and sometimes there is alot of subfloor work to put in the vinyl, increasing the cost alot.

I am seeking recommendations for an attorney for estate planning ! 

I wanted to wait out the winter to start on any repair projects but now while getting other quotes, I think the initial quote was very much under what I may be looking at to pay.

I believe one of those 2 states won’t evict during winter months.Where’s my beer?  

But realize that if you live somewhere seasonal, occupancy can vary... like cold winters in Texas probably equal lower occupancy.   

You won't miss the Chicago winters!

There are some decent spots that do well and are more affordable than Raleigh.Also I bought during the winter during slow season, great neighborhood but horrible photos, clutter everywhere, original condition.

Would love to purchase some place that has year round activities so income isn't limited just to winter.

From maintaining Winter and Summer temperatures to deposit alternatives, etc.
