Install 4" perforated pipe (with a mesh sieve, sleeve), pitched to the lowest point and dig a sump.4.

So then, you are likely a decent counter-party risk which, if it were me, I would discount the deal further.

But someone was telling me that i need to, if i am adding a dishwasher because tenants dont clean their plates before putting them in dishwasher and it clogs the pipes.

Kitchens and baths are rarely re-done in my markets, the most usually being counters and sinks and finishes.

Seeing as how frozen pipes aren't a real concern for atleast 6-9 months (if at all in your area), I don't think you have much to lose by letting her work on her own for as long as she needs to to get the heat back on.

But until the bank is ready to sell (usually by listing it with an agent), the bank tends to ignore investor offers (or counter with ridiculously high numbers).

I called another contractor buddy because I needed 2 more bodies to pull the pump . ( 150 ft of pipe with a 15 lb pump at the bottom ) .

It sounds counter-intuitive since I as the lender just lost a loan, but I can tell you that I won a client for life because I looked out for them. 

I set about making criteria for myself, such as brick houses (we didn't want to paint every few years), warm locations (didn't want to have pipes break during vacancies), at least 3 beds and 2 baths, near an Air Force base and so forth. 

Sellers paid closing costs all I paid was a down payment and $4,485 to re plumb the entire house because it had polybutylene pipes.
