Its been boarded up and winterized since 2015.

You can flip/wholesale/wholetail in any market - it just takes work to create the deal with either marketing dollars or shoe leather.

It was a fairly low risk deal in therms of investment, a mostly cosmetic flip about an hour from me.I definitely lucked out in finding a contractor who was honest and did a nice job.I bought the house in the winter but didn’t close until the beginning of spring.

I'm planning on putting up my furnished 2 bed/2bath condo in Boston for rent for the winter.

I would just add that during the winter months, it is generally harder to fill units with tenants.

I have an out of state client that I helped find a place using a 1031 exchange last winter, I'll reach out and make sure she's been happy with the management before I pass their name along but I know it had started well. 

Everyone has different goals Make a plan and stick with it and you will be fine.I hope that winter will slow down some of the demand and you will find  good one.

including it in the rent is a great idea because you do not need to mow it in the winter, and, you get to write it off.Letter sent, thanks guys.

We are now in Mexico for the winter and have been reading, watching you tube, podcasts, and learning how to analyze deals.
