But the gas company will usually offer a free boiler or piping to the house, however they're shutting down those programs for the Winter...

Sometimes doors don't shut right and sometimes they stick. 

Or, you can get an order from the building department to shut down the building or remove one of the tenants.  

I know investors that have super nice houses right by the restaurants and bars that get 1500 - 1800 per month.  

I like being able to just shut the door when I want.

Can I shut the power and water off after changing it over to my name?

But since another business I was involved in shut down this past July I've been itching to get back in the saddle, so to speak.

I always offer some kind of referral like $50 or a popular restaurant gift certificate.You can do the Facebook kind of marketing: our rent to own "homeownership in training" program.But I think one of the cheapest way is to go to get tenant leads is to put a big sign on your front yard of the house saying rent to own home, if you have good income please call.Have the phone number on the sign go to answering service that collects information such as name phone number and how much rent they are paying now.Good luck!

It is in my lease agreements that I give my tenants 2 weeks to put the electric and gas in their name because it's going to be shut off.
