If anything I would say BH is an insurance company, but they do obviously have the real estate piece, oil and gas, apple, some big Japanese compioes, building suppliers like ACME brick, BNSF railroad, and I'm sure a lot of other pieces and parts.   

When gas lines were two hours looong and you weren't allowed in that line except every other day.

If you get to a closing and the borrowers refuse to sign or the mortgage doesn't close, you don't get paid even though you have paid for the gas, time, paper, toner, and other expenses.

You need proper egress even to call it a bedroom so once you start venting cooking, lining gas, and doing plumbing, the town will be very tough and as I said, unlikely to want a single-family to become a multi.

For example let’s say in your market a water heater replacement costs $1k (my market is ~$1500 if using license plumber but our water heaters are different and more costly) and last an average of 12 years (our actual data going back almost 50 years places average lifespan just under that for gas water heaters).  

We must not forget the impact of gas prices, post hurricane Katrina.
