Winter Flipping In Cold Weather States

Doug Hogan

Posted

Hi everyone - I was curious on what peoples thoughts are with flipping houses during the winter in cold weather states (ie: Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, etc). Does the severe weather create limitations for finding GC's or hamper their ability to get work done in the harsh conditions? Or does the weather not have as big an impact on their work as I'm picturing in my head? 

I would imagine exterior work like landscaping, siding, roofing, etc would be impacted a good bit. Any thoughts or feedback from those that have expereince in this area is greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

@Doug Hogan I agree things slow down but you can't stop business just because of weather.  We have had siding replaced in February.  In some cases, you will get better deals if you buy when its freezing.  Do your rehab and have it ready to go when the Spring market hits.
