@Dawn Brenengen It will likely be listed at 265K.

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. 

I agree with key point lessons #2 through #7I’m not going to comment on lesson #1-> since I believe I know who you’re talking about Just an ideal :~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ rehab higher end propertiesbuy-hold low end properties Maybe the following people can weigh on this thread since they perform local partnering on deals :@Dawn Anastasi or @Robert Taylor

I'm with Dawn - I'm all for innovative ideas, but there is no way you would save yourself time/headaches/money by putting up hardie board (or anything similar).  

@Dawn Anastasi and @Dan C. - Thanks for the advice!  

Thanks all, this gives me faith that my plans for investing will fit nicely should my new job op in Portland pan out.And quick thinking @Dawn Brenengen , I'll see if I can slap a bird on my new business card :D

The sides of the cabinet are also missing so one can put their arm directly through and touch the side of the dishwasher.
