Has anyone laid sod in cold weather?

Can't predict how much snow we will have and being out of state you won't want to follow the weather trying to figure out when to hire it out. 

Cash flow helps you weather the storms. 

So at least $200k for an SFR might be a possibility, but it will be weathered.

Cheaper to put in place and much easier/cheaper to maintain; yet still gives tenants a nice outdoor space.  

Renovating during winter month in Michigan can be a challenge if you are not use to cold weather.

Knocking on doors when the agent (as instructed by the owner) forbids it, is A) rude, B) could be trespassing (I get there may be little if any consequences to that), C) could get violent (I'm confident you would not be welcomed at my front door and would be met with swift and decisive resistance), D) could get you into trouble with your local Realtor board, and E) could get you blackballed on the deal.

The weather happenings depends on where you invest and can effect your leasing but I live in Texas where the weather only effects you more than a couple of days.Banks and credit companies tend to look at your ability to make the payments, not the property’s future hopes.  

When a market correction arrives, my partners and I want to be invested in assets that not only will weather the recession, but will continue to perform during those tough years. 

If the market goes down you won't have much equity build up to weather that storm.
