I would like to convert to Gas to save money on utilities and to look better to long term tenants.  

That leaves a spread between gross rents and base expense of $657/mo.Tenant pays electric, so you'd be paying water/sewer/garbage (typical) and gas if there is any.

The company has been public for 15+ years and is in the natural gas space. 

Unlike @Johann Jells, Frigidaire gas ranges that have really hurt us, Whirlpools have been better for us.If you work in C-class rentals, you're going to have to cultivate a relationship with a used appliance dealer/warehouse.

Also anyone see pros cons of paying for electric, gas, trash pick up?

But tenant has to pay all utilities - water/sewer, gas for heat, electric.

You'll have no car payment, no gas payment, no auto insurance payment, won't need to worry about spending money on dates as you won't be having any, and given the 29 mile commute each way, you can cancel your gym membership if you have one.

The utility companies likely include electricity, natural gas, water, and sewer. 

On another forum (bethepro.com), some others correctly pointed out that it's probably not a great idea to concrete around main water pipes / gas valves that are in some of these planters.

Once in a while I've called to see that the sewer is being paid.Through the years it's become a little harder to inquire if other utilities are being paid but the only one that ever concerns me is natural gas for units that have natural gas heat.
