I currently work full time in the Oil and Gas industry, but with my schedule I am off about 6 months out of the year.

Needs about $3-4K Heat is by oil and it is not working.

We dodged an expensive problem a little more than a year ago when an ESA on a multi-family brought to light two abandoned USTs (~1000 USG each), both of which likely still had residue oil in them {unless they had rusted through and leaked}.

I also just found out about heat pumps which run on electricity (as opposed to oil) that can pull heat out of the air.

Doesn't matter if there is no other reason to ask the question, if it can be misinterpreted it will be.Why do you have to tell tenants to not iron on the floor, turn off the heat when they go away for a week in the middle of the winter in Minnesota, that they can't change the oil on their motorcycle in the living room or not to wash their dog in the dishwasher...Common sense is not always common practice

@Jonathan Mednick it sounds like you've a well oiled machine.

Walk to school, fishing, parks, golf, major employer,large lot, corner lot, additional garages, cul de sac, pool, shopping, university, etc.You totally did that on the 4b plus cottage.

I think they are just fishing.

I am focusing on electric because I think that may be the most reasonable direction for separate heat if you want to lose the oil bill but again depends on the building.You need to look at deferred maintenance don't underestimate it.

I might drive by just to see how many fish get caught, getting reeled in, if I were a recruiter for a real estate office I'd probably go to redirect their efforts and interests, but I'm not. :)
