Save yourself some gas and frustration.

There is no explanation, cost sheets, whatever.No one gets a breakdown of gas prices, toll fares, FDA inspections, water costs, tax rates, and all of that when the cost of hamburger goes up.

We'd also be hooking up natural gas which means some extra plumbing. 

I'm looking for a budget number to connect to city water & sewer, and gas for a new build in Minneapolis, a vacant lot that has not had utilities before. 

Right now we have low interest rates, low unemployment, low gas prices, low everything that we hope stays low.

Right now I have on the following on my radar:$3k (immediate): W/D and hookups$15k (~2 years): 2x heating conversion to natural gas and baseboard heating for 3rd floor$15k (~5 years): House sidingI've budgeted $500/month for capex and am putting it into a savings account.Down the line, once i'm under 80% LTV (5 years w/o appreciation), I'm not certain if I should consider using a HELOC for capex or try to rely on a savings account. 

Waste your gas.2.

Gas piping - hire a contractor.

The property is 2,240 sq ft, fueled by natural gas, has new plumbing and the roof is about five years old.

@William DavisI can't answer your question, nor can anyone else without knowing the process of accomplishing "a way to minimize your tenant's rent without losing money".I like the sound of "making our air cleaner without switching from gas vehicles" but not if the strategy is killing half the population of people who drive gas vehicles.People are "so quick to judge or make fun of the idea when you don't even know what is" because we don't know what it is and making blanket statements/ asking generic questions and saying "I cant say" when people ask what you're talking about - sounds sketchy.
