I did some cold calling to some vacant property owners.

Between cold/potentially messy weather, traveling, visitors and all the other social and holiday to do's, people have less time to property hunt and many sellers will take their property off the market, as well.

It gets a little cold.

Some are hot, some are cold.  

Did have to pull new #6 conductors for the tankless.For me it makes sense being in South Florida so the temperature rise needed is the lowest possible.The downside of this is if we have a hurricane and power goes out with a tank HWH you still have 2 hot showers left, with a tankless you are taking cold showers.

I hung 100 sheets of drywall in the cold of winter, after working 10 hours at my "real" job.

Con-tenant can get cold feet and not pay for an option and they already have a lease!

I am planning on cold calling expired listing leads to try and find some motivated sellers.

Now the volume of the sales and asset type can change with cycles and market dynamics.There is always a bad partnership, bad investment bought, people retire, people die, tax reasons to sell, business problems, debt on loans coming due, etc.So whether it is a hot market or cold market there will be sales.

@Bill GulleyMaybe, I'll be able to provide some advice to you for a change, starting with: bug nets, windscreen repair kit, and {several} spare tyres for your vehicle and trailer.Tuktoyaktuk is an amazingly big-little place, whose beauty and presence is worth the 1000-mile round trip on the Dempster - this time of year you could drive all the way to Tuk (if it's been cold enough up there).Unless you are riding something like a BMW 800 - 1200GS, the Dempster is not a motorcycle friendly road.
