My suggestion to you is not whether or not you should invest in RE, Stocks, a new Biz or gold, gas or silver. 

One of the house rules and regulations ezlandlordforms.com gives me the option to choose to put in the lease is: "Charcoal and Gas Barbecue grills may not be used or stored on any patios, porches, and/or landings."

If somehow you used a LLC, that doesn't matter because the loan is in your name, and its still a valid IOU. 

Of course, it can be almost impossible to validate any rents the seller claims theycollected in cash.

After their broker split and with expenses factored in like gas to get there and back, vehicle maintenance, health insurance, errors and omissions insurance, marketing costs, software, etc.

The thing with electric heat is that it's 100% efficient as compared to gas, heat oil, etc.

(The tenants pay for their own gas, electricity, hot water)Snow shoveling I'm assuming that the super of the building will do which is within the PM charges?

I finally had to just say leave or stop complaining because while he had a few valid points he was non-stop and relatively unreasonable. 

I agree, the gas is better in the long haul.

In my state we don't have gas station attendants.
