Another aspect investors need to be aware of......anticipating again, is when an owner has a buyer and folks call us to put a deal together, if you're not a Realtor you can be on thin ice as you have no interest directly in the transaction, there are other issues too, the unauthorized practice of law is a favorite for prosecutors.

For institutional loan understandings, this might break the ice for new folks.http://www.freddiemac.com/singlefamily/underwrite/You should never suffer from insomnia again. :)You're right Dion, you'll never find a high quality SF note on a residence (unless I did it, LOL) I'll explain builders carry backs if you like, set up the system with one of the largest builders carrying the note, hint, they don't carry for long, first pledged for th next deal, then sold with seasoning, it cheaper money for them than construction end loan, buyer's conventional lending."

When the temperature warms up in the day, the ice inside the pipes could melt and water will spew out until the water is turned off.Even if your water is turned off, the pipes can still freeze and burst.When I have an empty house, I always turn off the water and leave the heat set at 40+ if there's a basement and 55 if on a crawl.

4monthsx4unitsx$500 $9,000 = Almost $25,000 in lost rents because I didn't have enough cash to do the repairs.If that isn't enough to scare you here's the icing on my cake: I had the properties listed in August as a Portfolio sale for $525,000 which would have been a 250% ROI in 18 months.

Briefly about myself to break the ice… I graduated in finance/economics.

It's best to get a layer of salt down first to keep the snow/ice from bonding with the pavement, then it's going to be up to the equipment and manpower at your disposal as well as the predicted snowfall totals, duration of event, mixes of snow and ice as well as how clear you need to keep the areas.
