Kenny, yes I am actually considering that and may have the entire shown price include utilities gas, electric and water, if the person signs a 16 month lease. 

I currently work in Kazakhstan on a rotational basis for as an Advisor for an oil and gas company with a  specialization in IT/Telecoms.

Retail -- restaurants/shops/groceries/gas/car dealerships/banks/etc are more like 1/4 mile away in either direction on adjoining roads -- not sure if that would ever grow to include OUR road, but it's certainly possible, as our road is a major connector, and those other roads are building up quickly.

I have a property with a gas fireplace.

It's gas so I am a little hesitant to try.

Because it ended up that I couldnt use an FHA due the proximity of a gas station to the house, my parents decided to own the house with me, contributing to the downpayment, and i would do a homestyle mortgage (15% down mortgage with 115k reno loan built in).

Mine (for retail buyers only) states that the buyer agrees that in exchange for my professional services, they will buy their home through me - though there is no obligation to buy a home and no payment due if they don't.For investors, it says that if they buy a home I introduce them to, they will buy it through me.It is simply amazing to see just how many people will happily burn up an agent's time and gas, kicking tires for weeks or months - only to announce as they're ready to write an offer that their Aunt Millie has her real estate license and they'll have her write the offer - and make the commission.A smart agent won't allow that to happen any more than any other professional would.

Upstairs will be gas furnance, downstairs thinking baseboard heat.The purchase price is $140,000 with 20% down conventional bank financing.

The property is filled with "previous landlords have done the absolute bare minimum for many many many years" type of stuff, for example:Units 1 and 2 need to be gutted-new kitchens, bathrooms and layouts.There's no insulation in the attic.Electric/water are shared amongst all 4 units in a confusing hodgepodge of wires and pipes.Only 2 water heaters for all 4 units.Some units have gas stoves, some have electric-not sure how gas is split up currently.No central AC/heat.

Advertise there.Hang tab fliers on the boards at all the local gas stations in the area.
