OfflineHey, I wanted to encourage my Northern friends to be out finding deals in the next couple of months! When it's so cold you feel like staying indoors, THAT'S when you should be out there looking. I don't know about other states, but WI has property taxes due end of January. That puts some sellers into the "motivated" category if they are behind on their taxes. If you have a cash buyer that can close quickly, this is a great time to catch a deal. (Same goes for April 15th, the dreaded tax day. Be on the lookout for deals you can close by then.)
Also, the banks with REOs are paying sometimes to keep places heated. Extra cost/more incentive to sell? Some they don't heat, but those are places that buyers are afraid of buying because they don't feel liveable. But YOU can see PAST that.
So, get out there and put in your time. You'll be glad you did!!

You get to go out in the frigid cold, fight the snow and ice, and have little competition. We are stuck with 75 degrees and sunshine. Guess I'll have to move north. If life gives you lemons, make lemonade!

So, let's find the silver lining in your cloud.
Dean is in Arizona,
Anita is in California
Two of the most successful people we know.
Never hear them complain of the weather holding them back.
Oportunities are abundant in Arizona, This time of year, I would'nt trade it for anything.

But when you put it that way, becoming a "snowbird" is looking pretty good!
What do ya think Rina? Sounds like there's enough to go around in AZ!
But, I'm not tossing the long johns just yet! (Good point AngelaK!)

You just HAD to take away our little glimpse of silver lining in our big old storm-cloud of ice and snow!
Hey, just remember when it gets REALLY hot in AZ: You can always ADD layers up here, you can only take so much OFF down there. HA!
Anyway, I'm looking forward to Friday. Hope to get some lowball offers in. Cross your fingers that a bunch of REOs (CHEAP) come across my e-mail.
