There are some great outdoors activities down there a stone's throw away from you.

Great place to do business if you like out door activities?  

The water main to the building was installed only 12" below grade and had frozen during the extreme temperatures. 

What we're aiming for is a 150k loan based on its rents and commercial value, in order to bump it up to a 6/4 with an extra bank of showerheads, tankless water heater, outdoor shower and hot tub, and charge closer to $1000/night.

My best advice to minimize your chance of this happening to you is to buy a couple of outdoor cameras, build a good relationship with your neighbors(They can see who is staying at your house and whether or not they should be there) and demand frequent and detailed records from your manager!
