I also never attended a seminar on how to in RE, never attended an REI meeting in my life, I did attend Realtor meetings that were more boring than watching the time-temp sign at the bank change.

Hope that the snow and cold temps dont bother you too much.

You've got less than 30 days before freezing temps out there in Michigan.Can't believe you didn't know his utilities had been off this long.Have your utility company have you as emergency contact for any shutoff's, power, gas, water..Your only choice I feel right now is to have the power put back in your name so you can protect your property from freeze damage,  until the guy gets evicted. 

@Mitul Patel ,The market here was hot for buying and selling in 2012-2013 as interest rates were a bit lower and as prices were getting higher.It has now sort of flattened out and become somewhat stable although foreclosures and shortsales are down substantially you can still find some.Other than Phoenix, Tempe is a good choice to invest.

I was thinking of instituting a similar range but my house is well insulated so would maybe keep it from 70-80 Im far from a lawyer but I do not think there is a law governing the temp ranges for STR/MTR. 

Double check that they simply didn't turn the temp up too.How did they find out you were reusing a fridge from the dead guy's apartment?

A mobile has virtually no wall bay thickness, no attic (slows transfer of ambient temp) and under a mobile is very poorly insulated.

If I do this, then I can hire out a temp in that area just to show the property? 

I've been able to find some nice homes $400-500K in Chandler/Tempe that could make good vacation rentals, but the yearly revenue is going to be lower than Scottsdale. 

, driveway permit, crush & run, site prep (clearing, grading), and temp power pole.
