Hotels are heating up big right now and prices are on the rise.

Of course, you probably don't want the tenants to do this, but you could light it manually and let the house heat up to 75 or so and hold some heat until Monday.

They had the heat on 70 and it could only get to 64 the filter and everything was just full.

Recently saw a place where somebody had take out the entire heating system and HUD called that insured.

Are you including heat and water in the rent?

Translation is it costs too much to heat I think?

Those upper windows could be opened to allow air circulation in the heat of the summer.

I heat that's a great way to start

Which means the only reason I would buy at $200,000 is if the market was low and heating up ... and I wanted to invest only for appreciation.
