We have considered making a permenant one ourselves at this house with a high back like a fireplace.

And for him to remediate the asbestos (it's in two fireplaces and a tile floor in basement).  

half assed comp analysis, but if you want something to start with...PropertyTypeBr / BaGLASoldPriceNotesAdjustmentPost-adjustmentsubjectsfr2/11130123 main stsfr2/1unk1/25/2016$595,000.00huge new kitchen, orig hardwood, fireplace, dumb agent-$25,000.00$570,000456 wall stsfr2/197211/30/2015$525,000.00granny house garbage condition possible flip$20,000.00$545,0001031 exchange avesfr2/19143/15/2016$485,000.00.$485,000321 123rd stsfr2/110404/8/2016$475,000.00really good condition -$15,000.00$460,000And, again, this is for refis.

On our side, in a couple rooms we use ventless gas heaters and in one room we use one of those fake, electric fireplaces that is essentially also a big space heater. 

LOL, if you don't have a calculator to use in RE deals and you only look for deals as obvious as Rob's car example,you won't be making much money or be around long.While you may understand the terms, you need to study the basics and understand the comparable property valuation process, you don't need to be an appraiser and add values for a fireplace, but understand the valuation of the overall market, neighborhood influences, location, how a school influences price and conditions.

Of course, the property details can change who's willing to insure and how much it's going to cost too (fuses vs breakers, fire place, etc.) 

If I had 5 years more here it would definitely be a good option.Anyways, I found another place 2BD/2BA 1600sqft Townhome in the same area all appliances + W/D included and wood-fireplace only $950/mo.

Many people around here manage 5 or more.On Monday a guest texted me and said the gas fireplace wouldn't work.

I would do whatever is necessary to disable a fireplace in a rental.

The funny part (not really actually) is that the house has gas cooktop, fireplace, gas water heater, gas forced air heating and has NO carbon monoxide detectors.
