Jobs, stores, roads, doctors, gas stations, everything is gone.Without jobs and services, tenants will not return.Debt service, taxes, insurance, maintenance, and other expenses continue without interruption.

@Chue Quan we agree with @Nathan G. as he nailed it.Now the question is, what to do if it's NOT covered in your contract?

You may also discover the short-term rental market slows next year due to inflation, high gas prices, and whatever else is headed our way.It's a calculated risk, but the numbers are changing and the risk is increasing.

The last three generations have lived off of oil & gas well royalties and it is all going to **** if I am being honest.

Switching to natural gas from oil and installing two combi boilers (one for each apartment).

The man has lived without water or gas for years now, the house itself is a total loss but the value of the property is what is keeping me on the hook.

They choose not to enforce not having that work permitted even though by rule it requires a permit   In at least two of my jurisdictions, the only way you will get the gas turned back on after a gas leak is by having a permit and the inspection passing a pressure test.

It was mostly live-able aside from some plumbing issues causing it to smell of sewer gas (bad smells always make for a great deal) and was very dated.

I want to implement RUBS for gas, water, sewer and trash, but was wondering how you'd handle the thermostats?

My renter pays the gas bill.I think the pros to having a 80% are slightly easier to repair.The pros for the 95% are: better resale, and more appealing to renters.Also I'm thinking that furnace can last over 20 years, so is a 80% going to look dumb in 5-10 years?
