Bliss moments: The Magic of October

I love when the seasons turn from summer to fall every year, because it inspires change inside me. October is when I start researching markets, get financing lined up, and do all my preliminary work to buy my real estate. Winter is the time that I usually buy most of my properties. For me it's Shopping Season!

Historically, the market seems to slow down a bit from Dec through Feb. It hasn't been that way for the last couple years, but I'm eager to start looking around this year again.

What does the fall open up for you? What opportunities does the shift in weather and activity open up for your life ? What about the season puts a smile on your face? How can your real estate investing benefit from the shift in season?
