The thing that I really felt good about, was that it occurred during the winter.

I also think I would like to do turnkey investing because I would like to move this winter.

how else are they going to move their mobile home once they are evicted in the middle of winter?

During single digit cold winter night, the drain from upstairs apartment running down this wall froze and blew outside pipe joint open.

I liked it better this past winter when I was the only one looking.

I'm also planning to head up there next month for some spring cleaning/assessment (we had seasonal renters in there all winter), so perhaps we could even meet in person!

All depends on whats going on, like some people mentioned about an hour invoicing and cashing checks if all is working good.If there is a vacancy, I would say 20-40hrs to clean and paint a unit.Up here in the Northeast folks generally do maintenance before and after winter.

There is a cronic problem with mold in the house that is believed to be sourced from the condensation between the slab and the home when it is occupied in the winter time.

I asked the agent about problems like freezing pipes and she stated the property had frozen so the bank had the water turned off and then had someone winterize it hoping to avoid more damage.

It looks like the bank's property preservation company was in the house in 2008 according to the stickers on all the plumbing fixtures stating that the house has been "winterized" (it doesn't get below 50 here often in the winter).
