Mind you, this is the north east and it is becoming winter.

The difference between the lowest temps of winter and the highest temps of summer is much greater in Illinois despite how hot Vegas gets.

@Mitzi Castiglione Winter strawberry Capital of the World!

I just want to make sure that my BRRRR strategy is done in a kosher way.It's kosher but not too profitable kosher :)Every year, even if the house does not appreciate, your LTV changes by 6%.Now if the appreciation rate per annual is 5% your chance of selling higher was higher on 2nd year.So not just capital gain is free ; but your LTV upgrade to 12% and appreciation would be double digit on second year.I'm in favour of buying in winter of X year; rehab and live there until year X+3's spring time.

Heating costs go up in winter, as does electric due to the reduced natural light and people being indoors more.

That is definitely what I’m gonna have to do , I’m hoping it has potential for all seasons , or most of the year at least, considering spring/summer for the lake/camping and fall/winter for hunting/camping etc!

Hi everyone,I'm a new investor looking to buy a property in either Winter Haven or Lakeland, FL. 

Hence why most Poconos rental properties sit empty all winter.

UPS and FedEx deliveries are really doing a number, as is my wife's pickup truck.I expect that normal paving will be cost prohibitive at the $100,000 range - not to mention that we're in Massachusetts and will get several feet of snow and ice each winter, so a smooth, paved surface will be too slick to be safe.Right now I plow the snow with a 4WD ATV. 

I'm there several times a year and will be down there most of the winter sometime sooner rather than later.
