One of the tenants hung a picture on a wall, puncturing a water pipe.

This home currently doesn’t have any heat and my concern is bursting pipes. 

I have an exhaustive list for my investment strategy and I’m looking for second opinions.

.- Also found terrible policies that owners had, that they didn't understand.4) Utilities: We check that all utilities are properly set up and cofirm or enroll in any Auto-Transfer of Service programs to avoid no heat during winter leading to frozen pipes.- Dealing with a very upset new owner client right now that previous PMC didn't handle the water account properly.

I’ve been down that road, and the constant manual updates get exhausting.

If something obstructs the sewer line like tree roots, and grey water is trapped in the pipes and overflows the lowest point that could be covered.

Yazoo clay  in a 1 inch block with zero water.. if you take that one inch block and add water it can expand out to 12 inchs by 12 inchs  this is why the pipes burst all over the place in the city of Jackson..

These items are not permitted to biodegrade in traditional septic systems.Plumbing pipes are sensitive and must be checked regularly by scheduled plumbing professional.

The building stock is like all the other Chicago urban core burbs, so expect lots of 1950's and 60's construction with galvanized pipes, flat roofs, boilers and outdated electrical.

@Kelsey Vander Meulen unless you have a great team lined up, especially someone who can address a burst pipe or damaged roof late night or on a Sunday, hire management.
