The home must not get too cold.The fourth is to use heat tape, this is pretty amazing stuff but it on;y works down to a certain temp so I would suggest not just relying on heat tape.Fifth, hose bibs are one of the biggest issues because they expose your water line to the outside temps.

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

See how easily you can be manipulated when you just think a cap rate is involved.

When it goes to court the judge will look over your papers.Talk is cheap because it can be manipulated in a person's favor.

We were very interested in trading it for a multiplex in North Tempe/South Scottsdale.

Hey mate,Take your time (As much time as necessary) to get the right feet on the ground first and foremost.Many folks get caught up in the attractive numbers a potential market presents and completely neglect building a team.A good ream on the ground will make or break your investment and not so much the demographics of an area itself.You can minimize your risk by buying super cheap thus hedging any "mistakes" you make in rehab or by working with the wrong people.Be patient and negotiate tough and you should find a bargain.We do even in today's market although much less often than 3-4 years ago.Direct mail, wholesalers and good old Craigslist are just some ways we buy a lot of our properties.We are also on the list of various disposition managers that send us deals.This site has some decent deals from time to time also - https://investorlift.com/And forget about appraisals unless you manipulate them.It's a blood joke if you ask me... lolI've had deals appraise for less than we bought and rehabbed which is impossible.And I'm pretty confident that my company has bought, fixed and sold more properties in our lifetime than many appraisers have appraised.Appraisers sometimes like to be A$$holes and give a lower appraisal just to screw with the flippers profit.I think they sometimes do this out of jealousy lolIt's a funny world we live in.Just my 2 Aussie cents.Much success 🙏
