Now that I am preparing to "turn up" the metaphor "heat" on my new real estate investing career, I have heard a little of this and  little of that about qualified retirement plans (QRPs).

Electrically heated appliances and equipment shall be installed with the required clearances to combustible materials.And, most manufacturers will require 5' on a top discharge unit.Most installers hate enclosing them even with this clearance -- makes the units work harder.Keep them in the wide open. 

All but a handful of our properties use electric resistance for heat with no AC.

This could provide heat and cocking gas for the unit ($130 /month value).I'll check with the city for kicks..

Hey Guys, This is more of a shower thought and thankfully hasn't happened to me yet , but I was wondering what should do as a landlord when your tenant is responsible for the utilities and decides to stop paying the heating bill in the winter (electric, gas etc).

Just got a call from a tenant , no heat .

I had an electrician address a problem with my hot water heater, he fixed the wiring, but referred me to a plumber to replace the heating element and thermostat.

Back in 2014, I purchased a multifamily that was flip for 317K, I put in 40k into the house (finish basement, central air and heating. 

My builder thinks the units are small and electric heating should not be an issue.

If the heating system craps out and you have $0 in reserves you have a serious problem.Is Waterville mandating fire dept inspections yet?
