Regarding higher costs for tenants, we inform them they can turn down the thermostat(s) in rooms that don't need heating during the day (bedrooms) and those savings can help reduce total heating costs to tenant.If you do not use the furnaces in basement, be sure to run a heater or two down there to make sure pipes don't freeze--winter is only a few months away.

KDP Septic based in Phillipsburg is excellent, they put in a complicated 50K system for us in East Amwell Township in the dead of winter this year (high water table on property so needed pump up leech field system, ground was frozen, they have all the heavy equipment needed for something like this).

I'm curious to hear from anyone who has experience winterizing a foreclosed property in a northern climate.

I also have the goal of purchasing a multifamily in the area this winter to house hack. 

Chip in and subsidize part of the electric (and heat come winter?)

Where Im buying the winter is harsh, I need to get in.The company already sent a title commitment and deed and Hud sheet.What can they do if we move in before settlement?

Refinishing and painting the outside before winter hits now!

Doesn't it get cold in Columbus sometime during the winter?

This past winter, my tenant contacted me about an outrageously large water bill.

. $600 during the winter.
