I would rent for similar, but would cover gas and water.

However, the person has low credit score due to medicalBills, also has an eviction from 2016 where he lost his job in oil and gas and his wife couldn’t pay the rent.

Ive had issues with poor quality windows within 2yrs where it leaked because of poorly sealed glass.... or gas between glass caused hazing, etc.  

I work with the local restaurants, gas stations, mom and pop retail shops, and yes even real estate investors(I also invest myself).

As a state, though, it seems to have a lot of downstream jobs, as per articles like Oil and gas supports 17 percent of jobs in Texas.Like any other bust cycle, state revenues could be impacted.

You'll need to get bids from movers and other contractors to do the hook ups (i.e. electrical, plumbing, gas, air conditioning, etc).

Free gas, clothes or any other expense.

I can afford the cost of milk, bread, and gas to double if it means my rental rates due the same.

The bank, grocery store, gas station, restaurant, etc?

Taking down walls, reworking plumbing/gas, etc would be more major work that adds time and cost.Once your unit is updated, kick out another tenant, move into their unit and rent out the updated unit for more money.
