I've been in the house for a little over the year now, but I find myself REALLY missing living downtown for quite a few reasons (convenience, saved time, yardwork, etc etc), so I'm trying to see if it can make financial sense at all for me to make it happen or if I just need to suck it up and stick where I am for a while.I ran some numbers, and here's where I landed (Please let me know if I'm missing something):House Expenses:Mortgage/Interest/PMI/Insurance/Taxes = $1,370/moMaintenance (Assuming 1% per year) = $181/moIf I were to rent it out, presumably the tenants would pay the utilities, which come to an average of about $187/mo (heat, water, electric)I expect I could get $1,600-1,700/mo in rent.Obviously if we were talking about a pure rental investment, the numbers don't really add up, but since I already own it, I'm trying to determine if it makes sense so that I can move pack to the place I want to live. 

My plumbing and heating guys are starting next week and I’m +90 yards of dumpsters into the renovation, so should be a good time.  

You made me scrutinize myself a bit more and I realized there is no indication of multiple heating units or meters and I will need to dive a bit deeper into this. 

Dumpster rental, electrical bills to keep the heat on during winter so pipes don’t freeze, man labour.

Realtor.com's "crime heat map" - just doesn't size up.Hope this helps.

They are hung and partially installed but I don’t want to finish and screw radiators baseboard down to lead baseboards that are going to get ripped out and potentially damage the new baseboard heating elements that I would have just installed. 

If there was oil in the basement , the smell would hit you like a ton of bricks , heating oil is diesel fuel , it has a strong odor .

It's large on a big piece of property and the maintenance, insurance, upkeep, taxes, heating, cooling, etc. digs into my pockets each month. 

I recently looked a broker pro forma in Cicero, IL where a 27 unit with a steam boiler had $3,000 listed for the heating bill.

It would be used to heat the house and the water.
