Any weather issues I need to be aware of?  

I know that NO one wants to move in December because of the weather and Xmas.

Great weather year round.

Also, are there any inclement weather problems unique to that part of the country that damage properties, like tornadoes?

Properties are generally much cheaper relative to the rent they pull in, than in NY.3) Lower fixed costs - lower real estate taxes for starters relative to your rent roll, etc.4) Lower variable costs - labor is A LOT cheaper here.  5) Less stringent code enforcement.6) Less maintenance - milder weather, and younger average age of homes make for less maintenance.   7) Diversification - low entry price to buy property allows and investor to manage risk by buying properties in different neighborhoods instead of putting more eggs in one basket.In additional to the benefits I listed above the city is growing so fast that homes rent very quickly, often times before the sale of the home.  

  - Lastly, we all hit resistance in this buisness.

Also buyers need to be serious about purchasing a house when wading out into the cold weather to look at a property.  

"We need to buy right" that's the key because after that you can just sit in it and weather any storm while you make a 5-6% return.

After that, the rain was enough mixed with the cooler weather.

@Aprelle HawkinsWorking in wealth management for years significantly helped me in this REI space.This Friday (weather permitting) there is a PB Reia meeting at Crazy Buffet on Lakes with some good people that go.If you know what part of REI you want to get into I could let you know who to talk to.
