A lot of OR users on here, including me, and we dont have this problem

At this point I'm inclined to average fuel usage over the last few years and come up with a heat included number to add to the rent.

I think most of those are included within the high influx of newbies that roll through who are not serious.

Not including septic of course because that;s an easier run.I would do a sewer scope even if just to know if/where there were branch lines or moderate blockages.....or even the bellies.

My offer did include an inspection contingency which I would not be willing to remove, but they didnt seem to have an issue with that specifically. 

Important things to check include opening and closing every cabinet, looking under sinks, pushing on doors and cabinets, and checking commonly used areas.

You are going to pay much more for any type of work done (not including all the headaches associated with it) so in my opinion it's better to buy something that's already turnkey.
