We discovered there was a leak from a frozen pipe and we couldn’t fix it before closing so we couldn’t get a conventional mortgage (no running water-ended up being 2” of copper supply pipe to replace). 

Hello BP Family,This week my Bank of America Business account was frozen and then closed out of the blue. 

No heat in winter can result in frozen pipes.Why do you think four of four units decided not to pay rent from the start of your ownership?

The ventless heaters work even in a power outage saving you from worrying about frozen tenants in a winter storm. 

ive seen frozen houses from dead T-stat batteries, if i can save just one insurance claim, it would be worth it to spend $12 instead of $17 on a Tstat. 

They finished the repair and I'm waiting for the bill, guy said maybe 5 grand.. and not covered by insurance for me.. but we got it fixed before freezing weather and that would have been much harder to fix, he said frozen ground price doubles.

In cold climates you want to make sure the deepened perimeter of the slab is below the frost line so the expansion of frozen soil doesn't heave the building up, but if it has been fine since the 50's you should be ok.

I met a fella selling frozen meat one day (I bought some) and in our conversation we found out that he is a broker and told him we (my Mom and I) were trying to get started in REI, a few weeks later he told us about this unlisted house in a nearby town, and has been working with me to get the financing together to do the deal.

And if you ever have your bank accounts frozen by a court, you'll have the dickens of a time getting the deposits back to your tenants within the time legally allotted.

Also depending on location pex has a harder time bursting when frozen.
