I have tenants right now that keep their apartments at 85 degrees and I frequently see tenants that will open windows during the middle of the winter.

Although the winters can get quite cold in Northeast OH, we're still at a loss of how one of his tenants was able to run up an $800+ gas bill for a single month (with 2002 natural gas prices).

I'm actually concerned the house was not winterized as I never saw any smoke coming from the vents.Anyhow, as I had mentioned, I saw the foreclosure noticed posted.

I learned this with a boiler that wouldn't stay on in the dead of winter.

Do they hibernate all winter,,,like inside this wall??

And I'm not sure if he wants to continue cleaning...It's not really a STR market...up in Buffalo, NY which is why I never considered it, but the PM said there was strong demand in the summer because of Niagara Falls and in the winter, with youth hockey leagues, the Bills, etc. 

Over the winter I spent just under 2K for labor and around $500 for material (new fixtures, new toilet, new vinyl flooring, wood to replace the floor).The bathroom was a mess.

My heating bill is 300-400/month in the winter months. 

I'm generally pretty slow at work during the winter, and have considered trying to do a flip or BRRRRRRRR over that time to either get a lump sum of cash to roll into another property, or have something to hold longterm with some built in equity. 

if its in the lease, you are most definitely supposed to turn the a/c on regardless of your comfort level the same way a lease may state that inside temperatures cannot go below a certain threshold in the winter.
