I also have to deal with winter issues and calling my PM to winterize a vacant house so the pipes don't freeze and burst.

Cons of Keeping - older property, roof has been replaced but there will come a time when pipes start freezing/bursting with age and eventually will have to keep patching those or do a full gut that won't pay for itself.Pro's of Newer Property - Newer build, start time clock over again on key component repairs, higher chance of appreciation. 

I have never had a fully skirted home freeze while habited by a tenant.

About 90,000 individuals in the Milwaukee, WI area were left without power due to snow storms and below freezing temps.

Department of Education “have forced us to cease” operations.ITT was hit hard Aug. 25 by the education department’s mandate, which was made after ITT fell out of compliance with its accreditor’s standards and “put its students and millions of dollars in taxpayer-funded federal student aid at risk,” the department said.ITT last year received 79 percent of its cash receipts from the federal student loan program.The department also placed several other sanctions on ITT, including a freeze on executive compensation and an order that it increase its surety funds from $94.4 million to $247.3 million within the next 30 days.The company said Tuesday that it “exhausted the exploration of alternatives,” which included transferring the schools to a non-profit or public institution."

I had my 17 month old with me and I knew it wasn't the best scenario but I was freezing up and making excuses and just wanted to get my first call out of the way.

Second , slip and falls , the contractor would have to return every 12 hours to salt due to freeze and thaw , snow melts and refreezes on the drive . 

This would be another question for the heating specialist.If the runs in the baseboards are split from freezing, there is a good chance the risers in the walls (if you have 2-stories) may also be compromised.  

It was explained to me that the bank could freeze the account (whatever that means) if they found out she passed away.
