I will start to call some companies around my local area once this freeze lets up for a couple days and see what thier feedback is.

We just finished a sale and the home was very well received, we had 6 people come out in freezing rain to see it and got four offers one was an escalation clause contract.

We have a house that's been for sale since October, realtor is asking if we want to lower price again since the traffic has been slow lately.My initial thought is that it's just due to the time of year, so I'm thinking lowering price won't do much to bring people out into the freezing cold (Northern IL, Southern WI) anyway.

Mine had the same problem but it was the solenoid that went bad not the drain freezing.

That second concern is well-being of your unit; should temperature in that unit get too cold, risk of pipes freezing becomes a concern.So if tenant stays elsewhere and is OK with that, you still have to prevent pipe freezing somehow.

How do you handle furnace filters, etc...SuggestionsI just had pipes in a kitchen freeze in one property this week.

I just love plowing snow and sub freezing temps - I'm crazy, I know, but it's beautiful here.

It needs tuck-pointed and painted before I can try and sell it, but we're in the middle of winter and getting hit with freezing temps week after week.

Once we come out of this freeze, you should be in better shape.

It seems a lot of banks are freezing helocs everywhere.
