We once replaced the cracked single pane window in a kitchen, because that was the worst one in the apartment, and the day that it was installed the tenant asked us why we didn't replace his bedroom window first, because it was blowing cold air on his head when he slept.  

I can come up with the cash, but it will be an enormous strain, leaving me with no reserves if there is a problem with one of my other properties.

It loosely appears that these financial strains are affecting divorce rates and we see the tenant applications for these types of renters come together in waves). 

The combination of old single paned windows, little or no insulation and EBB equates to high heat bills. 

However, i then designed & built a bank building on the front of this property at a major intersection in town, with a 10 year lease with two 5 year options (I have is also triple net lease)Now of course the partnership is strained because my father-in-law & I have been at odds for a few years.

Converting to electric (including a new upgraded 200A feeder and larger panel) is less expensive when compared to the in kind boiler replacement by about $1000.Several factors being weighed besides price is:- Resale Value of the house - Overall cost of use for the tenants - Safety for the tenants (Gas/water/steam/combustion/leakage issues VS. electric baseboard overheating)- Future maintenance costs- Reliability and expected lifespan of electric baseboard (I don't have much experience with them for a PRIMARY heat source)-Future considerations; If converted to electric baseboard the Range/Dryer/Hot water heater can all be converted later to electric thus being able to eliminate the gas bill its fixed charge/service fee.

They have double pane window that someone threw a rock at and broke the outside pane.

But I was very naive and didn't appreciateThe strain that landlording would put on my relationships and budget.

LA is maxed out on affordability and buyers and renters are feeling the strain, can it go higher it seems so rents just keep going up like crazy but sales are slowing and prices will too.Do you want to be a long distance landlordDo you want the freedom to take cash off the table and wait for a dealKeep us posted

I had a brick go through a double pane.
