You have to be sure your rents are suitable for what you're providing when compared to their other options.

Certificate of Rental Suitability (application sent to "Licenses & Inspections", can be done online, needs to be provided to tenant along with a “City of Philadelphia Partners for Good Housing” brochure)3.

So go file in small claims court (after a suitable amount of time has elapsed for them to have paid you) a suit against them. 

Make Offers with suitable financial backing with appropriate exit strategies in mind6.

If you are considering this type of financing, I don’t think it’s the right RE-investing for a suitable return on your money.

I don't want to waste my money to find out later that it is not suitable to my business - once i set one up, can i add or revise it later? 

@Laura TroianIf you can find a suitable tenant who would take a 6-8 month term lease, it would solve your heating through the winter problems and free the house to be placed on the market in the spring - around here that is the best time to list.
