On REOs, HUDs, VAs and other you can get inside but most of the time the utilities are shut off, and heat has been off for a long time at least one winter, in some cases more than one winter and are possible freeze damage to water pipes, hot water heat pipes and even boilers/hotwater heaters. 

@Jack Forester great question. pondering along the same lines myself as far as escrowing the rehab money.

Pros could be: Clean water + tub for each guest; on a well, so no water waste concern; can make it design-y + cute; can be used winter (hot water) + summer (cool water); goes better with forest location of the home than a traditional hot tub might; will hold same number of guests as hot tub would (2 people in each tub).In researching I have seen some people on Airbnb have these checked in amenities as 'hot tub', some 'private hot tub'.

And that get's even more confirmed when you look at home prices long term, like since WW2.It's like: I don't know if we are going to have snow for Christmas, or how much snow exactly it will be, but it's Wisconsin and so it's pretty safe to predict (even though maybe not 100%) we are going to have snow at some point next winter and the total accumulation is going to be probably around 30-50 inches.My operating assumption is that home prices are going to double (again) over the next ten years, just like the did over the last 10.

I live in Carolina Forest, which is a large unincorporated section of Myrtle Beach. 

I went the same route as you, studying for my real estate salesperson exam over the course of the previous summer and fall, eventually obtaining my license over winter break.

I'm down south for the winter, but will be looking to put it together when I get back.  

Hoping it extends into a very mild winter ;)

Its the middle of winter, also. 

If you suggesting that winter is causing insurance to be higher, two things: the last years or see we call it brown grass season here in Milwaukee, because we don't get much snow anymore.
