I have dealt with frozen pipes before and other headaches so having things in one logical space was very important for me buying this property.

My question is should I focus on paying school loans off since interest if frozen right now?

Not to mention all the other problems (frozen pipes, vandalism, squaters, etc.)One good way to measure vacancy rates is to watch when another For Rent sign goes and up in your farm area and count how many days it stays vacant.

I've seen a house in the winter where the water pipe had burst, vacant house, and  a frozen water ice fall was coming out of building all the way down the side of the house.. 

Cons: many Helocs were arbitrarily frozen during the previous real estate crisis when people needed them the most.

So apparently the water meter in a property I purchased was frozen and wasn't measuring usage.

It's in good shape structurally except for frozen pipes, which is a pretty big deal.

Personally, I don't want tenants that don't keep the utilities on (cleanliness, frozen pipes, excessive humidity, etc.), so I don't mind wrapping these costs into the payment...

Pex won't burst if frozen??

so a 5ft by 8 ft 10 ft deep is a little much for me through frozen clay.
