It's frozen. 

The property was unlivable at the time, broken water pipes, frozen boiler and water damage.

This could potentially lead to complications such as frozen funds when mechanics liens are searched and they see the 2nd lien.

They ship them frozen as well.

However, be mindful that line of credit can be shut down or frozen by the bank for any reason.

If it gets warm enough, I'll buy in Canada where the frozen tundra will be farmable.

It's like the story of the huge ship with the frozen propellor.

I don't know, but you would 100% want to check in with the existing optometrist, maybe they don't get "walk in" business anyways and do not care and wouldn't mind the like-minded neighbors (I've had mortgage neighbors before, and do not care -- I do mortgages they don't, case in point office mortgages across the country, so I wind up getting business from them), but an ice cream shop is going to be LIVID if you rent the unit next store to a frozen yoghurt shop, since that's a LOT of walk-in business that's now getting split two waysAnd then to make it really fun, here's the question I'll throw back at you.

There are also winter issues (e.g frozen pipes possibly bursting and having to crank up the heat to prevent that) that we don't deal with in CA.

It's definitely hard to say without knowing more about this situation but when I have had renters who've dealt with identity theft in the past, they had filed a claim, and there would be something clearly noted on the report that a claim of theft had been filed or their credit would've been frozen.
