It doesn't cost that much to evict; it just freezes your asset while you work it out through the courts, losing revenue. 

Generally speaking, I'd like to have my buy and hold in places where the weather is kinder to properties (less snow/freezing and fewer hurricanes, I'll take my chances with tornados and floods). 

On the other hand, the tenant probably would not want the repair person there without you.I don't think it's unreasonable to ask the tenant to find a time to be home for the repair person, although in your case, if the tenant balks, then you have to worry about pipes freezing and not just the tenant's convenience.

You could point out winter is almost over, if that have concerns about freezing still (assuming property is in DE) you could ask "what if we delayed closing until it warmed up so you would not need to worry" - just be sure you get an extended out if you do that.

Think, analyze, use your judgement, seek advice .... .... but don't get so bogged down in details that you "freeze up" and spend $20,000 in books and seminars ... when you could have actually been making that money to begin with

We were in the 20's last week and pipes freeze and burst in NJ.

Its in the middle of winter too with freezing temperatures everyday. 

During the deep freeze in Feb the pipes burst in the secondary bathroom of our 2br/2ba rental property.

@Erik Whiting the goal was to wholesale up until I save up for a SFR, wholesaling seems like it is real simple but I feel as if I will freeze, and that seems outrageous because I’m always considered a people person
