The only real offer I got through FF was for $1700 a month, and I'd rather leave it empty than take that and pay for the heating bills and the extra wear and tear of long term renters.

Does it have material defects such as a roof, foundation, heating system issue etc?

She will never be happy with the heat, she can barely afford the place, and she's regularly late with rent.

Stay away from electric heating - this is a tip for all investing to be honest. 6.

I actually had to make calls to fix the heat and broken doors and connected with the tenants 1 on 1.

Given this is where my major operating expenses fell (beyond taxes and insurance), keeping this cost lower, by average, helps my cash flow.I invest in older neighborhoods, so the 2-4 unit properties, typically have single water meter, maybe single electric, and many have radiator heat with a single boiler.  

Newer appliances, free nice laundry, 2nd floor, yard space, storage, clean bathroom, included heat, installed window A/C.Appraisal suggested the unit was worth 2,300 a month, which I felt was a bit high, so I listed it for $2,150 with no move in fee and a 2k deposit.

In one particular circumstance we had the same tenant intentionally damage their heating system and then calling in a complaint. 

Since yours is only water and heat I would recommend you charge 50% and lower the rent cost rather than factoring it into the rent price.

After they left she called me, they used heat to kill the bedbugs and in doing so they literally melted all of the mini-blinds and the LVP buckled so bad that it all had to be replaced.
