I purchased a home about 6 months ago, and I split the gas lines and added a second boiler.

Does the site have access to electrical power, natural gas, town water or sewer?

If I add the machines to one of the units water tank than I would have to pay for that units gas bill.

They also have remodeled a huge old newspaper building into a retirement home, new Casey’s gas station, a bunch of tear downs.

phase 1 is usually a lender requirement.. on that small of project unless you have some knowledge that it was once a gas station or something..

Once you turn in plans they will make you fix everything to code so you have to have a contingency budget for that alone as you won't know about these costs until after you close.Also, I haven't seen anyone complete a gut rehab in less than 10 months (in Chicago) so you have to consider your holding costs for a year (taxes, insurance, security, lawn maintenance/snow removal, water, gas, electric, cost of money).

Has a natural gas fireplace, own washer/dryer, all appliances in kitchen except dishwasher.3.

My half duplexes rent out for $775-$825.00 and the tenants pay gas, electric, and water.  

I get 5% on gas and 3% on restaurants.

She told me about an incident where someone got shot at the gas station across the street and walked himself to the ER.
