Multi-family investment: Convert electric->gas heating solutions
We are trying to purchase an apartment building right now but the problem is the hydro costs. The property was built in the 60's in 3 phases and according to the owner there is a possibility to change the electric heating system to gas for an estimated cost of $300,000. Does anyone have any solutions to convert from electric to gas in a concrete building? Any thoughts on the purchase as well would be appreciated.
