I put gas and electric on the budget plan to smooth out the usage trends and find that that works well for me.

Orlando is a bit of a one trick pony with the Theme Parks and with higher airfare, gas, and ticket prices demand is currently down, and inventory is up which is driving prices down.Also you will see most people are not fans of arbitrage, not sure you will find any great opportunities worth it in my opinion. 

I live within walking distance to coffee shops, gas stations, and fast food restaurants.

I just viewed what looked to be a beautiful 3 unit in the photos a few days ago, but when I got there it was apparent the building had a natural gas smell in the basement, plus the owner pays all heat for the building since there is only one furnace.

Also, there are common domestic hot water tanks (gas paid by the owner), and a single gas meter so all tenants' cooking gas is paid by the owner as well.

Does the guideline for a monthly rent between 0.8% and 1.1% of the property's value include power, water, gas etc.?

I took a screen shot of the dollar cost of the airline ticket along with the point requirement, but not sure how this scenario works.I have family in these same towns, so I typically only deduct the plane fare (no hotels, gas, meals, etc.), since the business aspects are completed in a single day and I usually stay for a week.

-new plumbing is all PEX line plumbing-new gas line-new flooring (vinyl click waterproof laminate and carpet in the bedrooms).

But could you lose it all if something like a natural gas explosion killed a family of 5?

In NYC, you would had been charged around $100-$150 plus supplies depending on where, gas, tolls, parking (yes this is a thing in NYC) for both.
