Although in southern OR they would be about $150-$200K more.Property taxes, on the $50K higher house we would pay about $2K less in property tax, about $500 less on homeowner's insurance and $800 less on car insurance.Sales tax, we pay 8.25% most places in TX, nothing in OR.Income tax, we pay nothing in TX, last year I'd have paid $13K in OR.Electric bills would be less.Gasoline averaged about 15 cents less per gallon when we were in OR.The cooler weather is big plus for me.

I been painting those with a non skid rubberized coating and it seals everything up fine. 78 a gallon is tough though

Heat and hot water in a 4300sq/ft building powered by oil @3.04 gallon as of now, and going higher.

They may not be accurate to the gallons but they could show you proportions used of total usage.

As long as the rent is paid and they are quiet I don't care.Now when people get in hard times I find 3 people turn into 10 people living under one unit 2 beds,2 1/2 baths.The problem is the people that were qualified credit and criminal are on the lease and the others are not.So the unknown people have not been qualified to see if they will be a problem or not.More people wear down the units faster,cause noise with extra vehicles,and parking issues.Our water is not sub-metered and is paid by us the landlord.Extra people taking a shower,flushing the toilet,washing clothes,cooking etc. runs up the water bill.Water company says people use about 60 gallons a day on average according to statistics.I know there is fire code limits but I was thinking of having in lease max of 4 people and anything over that is 50 dollars per month per person.This would cover extra water bill and help with extra turning costs with the heavier traffic usage.

Just bought a new house and was doing some painting when I knocked over an entire gallon of paint on the carpet.
