Gas lamp and Petco Park helped the areas closest to them.  

And on the other side I definitely think there are valid concerns around the impacts that an increasingly in demand market can create for those unprepared to compete with the demand.

Every Utiilty is also different so you have to know that market, what’s available and how to put into effect a concise plan with guarnranteed supply rates in the case of Electric and Natural gas. 

He also works deals with his tenants to leave the gas and electric and water in his name if they need him too and then charges them $5-10 a month plus the bill for their rental.

Make sure that a property manager is willing to manage it before you buy (even if managing it yourself - a property manager's endorsement will validate that you are in a decent area).

If you really want to win an agent's loyalty compensate him something for his time, you can't put a gift in your gas tank! 

I charge $535 per bed room and they pay all their utilities (gas electric water).  

One burner is gas, the other oil burner.  2 units are on 1 gas and 1 electric meter. 

Property has no natural gas ran to it.

Oral month to month contracts are perfectly valid, and transfer along with the property. in fact, this is nearly an ideal situation since month to month contracts give you more control of the property, especially with inherited tenants who we assume were not properly screened when placed.
