@ALLAN SMITH Thank you for the update! I heard some of Matt's podcasts and was wondering how it worked.

Don't those stickers mean the water is turned off?

electric is fine for Multi family, But in an SFR if you want your rent paid in winter put in a gas furnace, cost of electric heat is double $450/mo for electric vs $225/mo for gas for example, as far as water heaters, the annual cost is about 1/3 more, but not a significant amount of money, as an annual cost to operate is around $350/year. I install electric water heaters in my units because they are cheap and easy to replace, Ace Hardware sells 40 gallon units for $299, vs a power vent Gas one is $749, and life span is about the same. (no labor cost in the figures) when I rehab a new property i buy we generally put in a new water heater, if the furnace is 20 years old it gets a new one, (order from e-barnett.com) you would need about a 70,000 BTU furnace, they run about $550 for a 92% high efficiency shipped to your door, (plus install)

Who do you have install the furnaces that you order? I have to do the same plus install ducting. I'm not sure if I can do anything beyond call a heating company which I imagine has an opinion ab what I order.

Sorry you didn't get replies on this. I'm not experienced enough to help but was wondering how this deal worked out for you. I may have a similar situation coming up and would love to learn how it is going for you.

Thank you for he breakdown of your numbers. I'd like to know, if you don't mind what that $853/yr for insurance is derived from? I think it's on assessed value. What's the assessed value of your property?

Thanks from a total beginner :)
