Given you bought a little studio, that's unlikely to be the case.Hopefully I don't sound negative, as this isn't my nature or my purpose. 

That could be expensive , if you are tying in to natural gas at the street , 5 grand and up . more if they have to cross the road . 

I am also a natural introvert, but have learned that putting myself out there and getting uncomfortable is a skill.My biggest suggestion would be to go to as many local in-person meetups as possible and find the people who are "moving and shaking" to become friends with them. 

I'm a rule-follower by nature, but unfortunately the law is written with language that is extremely unclear. 

Naturally I would increase the rent to more than cover the costs and I do believe it could be a great selling point for tenants to consider. 

I just viewed what looked to be a beautiful 3 unit in the photos a few days ago, but when I got there it was apparent the building had a natural gas smell in the basement, plus the owner pays all heat for the building since there is only one furnace.

It's the nature of the beast.

I have this on my lease: "Tenant accepts the cost of clearing the drain of any and all stoppages within the property except those caused by defective plumbing, tree roots, or act of Nature or God."

Analysis paralysis, natural aversion to risk, but want to break myself of that cage.I also try to always do everything on my own, no mentors, help, partners, etc, so that has also held me back. 

You can have a natural person or LLC as the beneficiary - the choice between the two is one of tax liability as they are pass through entities; not civil liability.
