Also, I have a deal now but don’t want to bother the cash buyers due to the holiday weekend.

I began out of state investing in Rochester NY in 2004 and soon discovered that even carefully crafted cash flow projections seldom capture the full impact of the repairs/maintenance you will incur, especially in the upper Midwest (Toledo, Cleveland, Buffalo, Rochester, Erie) where the winters can be absolutely brutal. 

There is a large garage that I retained use of and have a plan on storing vehicles at for the winter in, which I estimate will net 900-1200/year.  

(Focusing on Tucson, at the moment, as I like it there, and it's an area I will easily be able to visit each winter.)I want to find a property where my biz partner and myself can both park our trailers (he's a full-timer as well) on the property while we do the rehab. 

Flippers usually buy in November/December when sellers are most motivated, fix the property in the winter when contractors are slow and available, and list in the spring when our "selling season" begins and buyers are most active. 

There was another post here on the forums warning about the large numbers of foreclosures that will come this winter/spring 2021.

Evictions are also stayed here in the winter time.

On the flip side you’re doubling the chance of getting a bad tenant, you have 2 furnaces that could die in the middle of winter, twice as much to manage, etc.

I don't have any background in building or art but I'm kind of looking at a winter holed up on top of a mountain and would like to try something totally new and outside my comfort zone just to see if I can do it!
