footage,  the year major mechanicals and exterior have been upgraded,  if there is a deck,  if there is a dog,. if there is a garage,  if you have had a claim,  if there is a fireplace,  natural gas or wood burning....  

Chris, I purchased a 3 bedroom 1 1/2 bath in zip 72209 for $50K  I'm renting it for $765 w/ gas and water paid.  

Everyone is enjoying prices at the pumps at 20 year lows (adjusted for inflation), everyone except for small and medium oil & gas producers that can't afford to continue operating with their existing debt and the price of oil at $30 a barrel.

It's called Wework in the Gas Company Tower.

He still has a loan in his name, so he may or may not be able to get another  loan depending on his DTI, he wont have a down payment from the sale of the property as $500 dollars isn't much for a down payment on another property, (wont even put gas in my boat) and when if or how does he ever get any equity he may have in the property?

Over 250,000 oil and gas related layoffs in 2015 and more coming.

@Minh Le and I share a theory that maybe the Fed kept their foot a little too hard on the gas after the last downturn, and some of those risks that built up in the dot com times maybe were pushed forward to snowball and be realized in the Great Recession.  

Should I upgraded from oil to gas, and renovated before put on the market?  

It's time to write up new leases and I'm unsure on how to handle utilities.Electric, gas, water and trash cost me ~80k a year.

You probably already know this if you've been looking at properties, but in many Chicago multifamily listings "tenant pays gas" means cooking gas only.
