It can be two fold on splitting utilities;  - putting all of the utilities  in the tenants name usually makes them more responsible with things and they won't be running the heat at 78* in the winter, likewise the AC at 66* in the summer and more costly bills are avoided (just examples of being wasteful on your dime)- however some investors (especially in areas where the winters get very cold) wouldn't prefer to do this as an unpaid bill in the winter may result in frozen pipes and will spilt or keep utilities in their name to avoid more costly repairsI personally would put all of the utilities in the tenant's name and just make sure I was screening my tenants well ahead of time.

Not enough information to answer properly- Change requests cause delays, supply chain of receiving items for changes was frozen up in the past months, contractors have huge demand for work.

However, remember that all earnest money is at risk regardless of what your contract says (all it takes is for the seller to file litigation and it will be frozen in the account until the lawsuit is settled, even if that takes years) so put up more earnest money than you can afford to lose and still be a happy person.

@James SmithBe like Elsa in frozen and let it go.

They recently scored a massive economy pack of frozen fruit in the freezer. 

You can add electric baseboard heaters with thermostats in each unit that they can control.Keep the house heater set to the minimum 60 degrees to prevent frozen pipes, and lock the thermostat.

The retail space was last used as a steak house and it was frozen in time, minus everything that was falling apart due to age.

But I’m somewhat in a “frozen” state.

For the CRP form (Minnesota’s Certificate of Rent Paid for those not in this frozen state) you would need to include the $6,000 rent ($500 x 12) plus the $6,000 discount they received.

House could have burned, flooded from frozen pipe burst, burglary, vandalizm.
