Winter Purchases

Does anybody purchase properties over the winter but hold off to rehab until feb/march? I'm interested in thoughts on rehabbing in winter and listing vs holding off and rehabbing and selling during the spring market.

I know holding costs will be higher but not significantly in our local market, ex. purchase for 30 to 40k.

If winter isn't a good time in your area to be selling/renovating houses, then I would imagine contractors are pretty slow and desperate for work. That means you can probably get better prices...
