Of course not, but required items such as electric, water, gas, and plumbing all need to be in working order.

Now you can use it to "start cooking with gas". 

How would I find comps for other commercial properties like gas stations and hotels?

The furthest properties are the hardest to deal with because my contractors don’t want to travel that far due to their time wasted driving and the cost of gas for their big trucks.

What you need to look for is a market that is growing in population and jobs and gas beneficial landlord laws. 

Some tenants had water bill, gas bill, non payment, etc of up to $5000 in balances.

In addition, the gas bills have shut off notices and are not being paid. (3 units are occupied and utilities are all paid by owner).

When I think of Blythe, CA travel centers, gas stations and fast food chains come to mind. 

Oil and gas wouldn't be what it is without the government taking on much of the risk through the intangible drilling costs tax credit, and the depletion allowance act deductions, and literally hundreds of other tax benefits, loopholes and direct subsidies plus the fact they have access to public land to be drilled for pennies on the dollar, and the government cleans it up once they're done. 

Later, they were able to get the gas and electric turned back on.
