hey man, I can really do you good, could you give me a $20.00 for some gas and some smokes"." my truck has a flat and could you cover me a extra $50.00 for a new used tire"" my compressor got stolen, could you spot me a $100.00 so  I  can get a used one at the pond shop".

It has three kitchens, three living spaces separated from one another—three gas meters, even.

Too much risk for a 20-50yr lease/project life.We have similar issues here in West TX where the minerals are almost always severed from the surface estates and oil and gas development is constant.

Closing will not occur for 6 weeks - All utilities are currently on but wondering if I should turn off Gas & Water since the house is vacant & only leave the Electric on for security reasons.  

Who pays the water, heat, hot water, cooking gas, trash, common area maintenance, etc? 

For example, most 4-plexs for individually metered electricity and gas therefore the tenant pays for them, however the owner still covers water/sewer/trash which can be a couple hundred dollars per month depending on the area.

May of 2020, one of the duplexes was struck by lightning causing a rupture in the water heater gas line and had a significant fire. 

The sticker shock is real: From grocery stores to gas stations, you can't escape it.

For the past 2-1/2 weeks (took a week to realize and decide that I don't have much to lose except for a little bit of time, a little bit of gas, and a little bit of wear and tear on my vehicle) I've been doing Driving For Dollars to find these properties.

I have considered adding electric fireplaces to them as I have no natural gas and the chimney repair expenses are prohibitive.
