I've been "frozen" for about a year, but I'm finally comfortable making my very first purchase.  

Especially buying a foreclosed property in Alaska in January that had been frozen up for several months, and the plumbing and heating roadblocks that come along with that. 

The water main to the building was installed only 12" below grade and had frozen during the extreme temperatures. 

@Scott MacThanks for sharing the personal experience rather shocking to have assets frozen for a simple premises liability case.  

And I have a HELOC with WF at prime as well that I thought they froze but when I refiannced that property earlier this year they said that not only was it not frozen but the draw was ten years longer than I thought.

Winterized means squat, I bought a house that had been winterized, went to turn on the water and needless to say, the pipes had frozen and burst because the house had been vacant for ONE YEAR before it was winterized.

Sam , you are in Florida , I dont think you have a high probability of frozen pipes .

The only nice thing is if you sue a Section 8 tenant and get a judgement the Section 8 office doesn't let the tenant move into a new unit (as long as you let them know about the judgement prior to them moving into a new Section 8-approved apartment - their voucher is frozen until you get your money). 

Talking to zoning officers, I find that in some municipalities they are grandfathered in, but in others this exemption ends when the lot changes hands.What I am seeing is a picture of a huge amount of semi-rural land that is frozen in time—impossible to use and therefore impossible to sell.

This typically results in rehab funds being frozen until the second mortgage is lifted.
