Purchasing a “winterized” foreclosure
Just went under contact on my 3rd deal. This happens to be a bank owned property with no running water or electrical. I’ve scheduled my inspector to do his normal routine and I’ve also hired a plumber to do a pressure test on the system since we can’t test the plumbing by simply running the water.
What else am I missing?? Any other safeguards I need or things to look out for with a winterized house?? TIA!
