I anticipate the internal box temperature may reach 800 degrees.

I just got back from Playa Del Carmen on Sunday, to some snow and 30 degree NY weather.

Hey Brandon - There are several ways, all with varying degrees of success (and some based on yours or others expertise in the market). - For quick and dirty, I just reference the tax assessment.

With so many varying degrees of what investors look for, so too can be the threshold of what makes a person walk. 

The outgoing pipe from the boiler gets hot for about 20 feet, then it is cold by the time the pipe makes a 90 degree vertical turn and rises from the basement to the second floor.

Step one would be to finish your degree and then network in your local market.

It's not brutal here, but if you don't like it being 10-20 degrees for a few months, you'll be miserable.

These types of deals will be difficult to pull, though, because they normally involve a higher degree of sophistication and commitment from a seller.

Use 2x4s nailed to the floor at 45 degree angles against the doors.

It also sucks to hear that the seller was trying to hide defects which happens sometimes,  but proves that they knew about the problem at least to some degree.
