The style of the home, the space you are trying to heat, the price point of the property all play a role.

Looking to buy a 3 unit. 2 units are on 1 gas meter. Need a quote to separate. Reasonable and experienced needed. Same 2 units on 1 electric meter, also want seperated. Any suggestions?

Different markets will heat up and decline at different times.

No matter what else Peoria offers, it would not score close to #1 with me based on the summer heat.  

This type of tenant rarely calls the police on a landlord, and the police have better things to do.Providing a basic, sanitary, safe roof over their head, with heat, and a place to cook for a reasonable price, is not being a slumlord.  

In addition, look in Attleboro.Acquisition prices are lower, and so are the rents - but I frequently see MFRs that meet the 1% and even 2% rule.Check the crime heat maps on Trulia to get a feel for the neighborhoods.BTW, New Bedford has done a really nice job cleaning up the waterfront. 

it varies widely per state...in florida I am basically only required to provide a dwelling that has heat...AC not even required by law.

Hi everyone, we're considering putting mini splits in our Boston unit for AC only (heat is natural gas).

Like upgraded electrical, heating, ventilating, air conditioning, plumbing, ADA, etc...Where this comes into play is if say a tenant of one apartment unit sets his unit on fire, burns it up and now you have to go in to rebuild his unit. 

I use Proudfoot Plumbing Heating and Air out of West Homestead.
