I do show them how to shut off the water.

If the companies do a shut off, I am notified and utilities are put back in my name.

One good check is shut off stool at wall valve and leave for 3-4 hours.

The closing proposed would be of interest to HUD, the FBI, DEA, Treasury, IRS, state taxing authority and who knows who else, from failing to report to money laundering investigations.My cabin at the lake gets winterized every year, I shut off the well, so that's no big deal.

He did a very very poor repair on the wall, leaving cracks in several other areas going entirely through the brick, window sills are slanted, windows and doors won't shut.

The water was shut off from the pool, the heater malfunctioned and kept burning.

The last tenants that moved out of a sfh were perfect tenants with the exception of that they took the batteries out of all the detectors & shut off the breaker for the entire system!

I definitely worded that wrong, I was referring to sales/cold calling techniques that prevent a definitive direct shut down in the conversation.I understand a walk through appointment is the goal of this conversation however, I don't want to come across as some cut throat number crunching beast trying to make a steal on their property.Maybe asking if there is anyone currently living in the property and what their future plans are would be the best method, then seeing if they may be open to selling, if so setting up an appointment so we can make an offer.

And they didn't pay the electric so it's shut off.
