I'll give you some geography afterward.)Lakewood, Lower Greenville, Old East Dallas, Swiss Ave Historic Area, Munger Place, M Streets, SMU area (University Park, Park Cities, McKinney Ave area), Oak LawnOf those areas, Lakewood, parts of M Streets, Lower Greenville, SMU & Oak Lawn have the best walkability.That pretty much means you're going to look in the general area of East of Lemon Ave, South of Northwest Hwy, North of Gaston (definitely north of I-30!!!)

It had a very old oil furnace that we threw out.

A few impressions, memories.I recall hustling a bit more to get renters, but luckily my area was tied to oil prices which have been strong till recently.

I am not sure about the furnace, septic system and well and really don't know a whole lot about those sytems, but again should have a better idea once inspected.The $11K in expenses includes $4,600 in tax + $3K in oil + $2500 for insurance + Plowing and landscaping.

All vehicles must be both operable and properly licensed.VEHICLE PARKING.Parking on premises is for Tenant only, not guests.Tenant agrees to keep parking spaces clean of oil drippings.
