I am planning on getting a regular inspection done, I might need someone to come look at the boiler, and I also want to get the gas/heat metered separately to the tenant. 

I know I prefer gas heat but I also know that I have rented apartments many of times that have had electric heat.

It takes a little bit of the heat off of the on-site staff, because then staff members aren’t the ones calling for the tow.

Heating and lighting your real estate investment through the late fall and winter can cost you thousands if you’re reckless.

I would guess a lack of ventilation and heat build up is what’s killing my shingles.

Recently acquired our 1st rental, planning on doing a BRRR and holding onto it. 2400 sq ft house built early 80's no central heat or air.

The rear 2nd floor unit was treated for bed bugs last year at this time using the heat method from a reputable local company.

@Jerry Neven would like to hear more I am looking at more tertiary markets since most secondary markets are over heated.

My tenant kept trying to bring up housing code violation, no heat for a few days, gas leak etc etc with bogus documents, literally tried to make it seem like its the most unsafe and hazardous apartment he lives in.. yet its a brand new apartment. 

As markets rise and heats up, flipping margins tightens and more risk holding the bag when the market heads down.In general, finding the deal is paramount to market conditions.
