Further to @Shawn Clark's point, if you don't have easy access, one way to tell if a property has been winterized is to look at the MLS listing photos.If there are small signs or tags that are taped on sinks, toilets, dishwashers, etc, those normally are signs stating the the water is off and that the property has been winterized.Around here, they're usually neon green or orange stickers with a few that are just white slips of paper. 

@Shawn Ackerman Thanks for the advice!

@Jeff Schechter I spoke with Shawn - important to note that he only does residential financing, not commercial, therefore you would not be able to refi to an LLC, only to a Trust or to your personal nameAccount Closed any luck with LendingOne?

@Shawn Holsapple @Mark Hull  Nice fellas!
