Like a well-oiled machine they are flipping properties as fast as possible and moving on to the next.

Agents and lenders who have history are like a well oiled machine.

My advice is not to attend and send them the ugliest large-sized oil painting you can find at a starving artists sale, preferably with obvious overtones of sexuality, religion, or dementia.

Should I install a gas or oil furnace?

Since 1975, prices have only dropped twice -- once in the mid-80s when the oil-centric Denver market was hit by the drop in oil prices; and a second time in the aftermath of the 2007-08 financial crisis.Now is a tricky time to sell.

i did. we verbally agree to 1000 sqft gross rent on 5 month trial for $1000 plus $160 for their portion of cmp and oil bill. with no security deposit by him and no repairs required by me. 

Only things that stop me are bad foundations, underground oil tanks, old septics and older well water systems.

This, to them, was to shave costs and increase profits.

Now I have plumbers to work with and tenants that dump cooking oil down the drain.

But I probably should have included in the contract that if they exceed the “average” utility consumption I oils charge then a fee.
