You might consider servicing the housing needs of oil and gas field workers through "Man Camps". 

The thing is you can go on and on and on about these rules...Do not strike a match near the gas stove and oven.Do not jump up and down on a bed while the ceiling fan is running.Do not park in your neighbor's designated space.Do transfer or retrieve your clothes from the washer and dryer promptly.Do lock your doors when you leave.Do not leave a burning BBQ grill unattended.Do clean the lint screen on the dryer after use.Do not puke directly into the community waste bin when drunk.When your neighbor's dog drop heat on your door step, please resolve the issue with the neighbor, do not smear such dog poop over his/her door knobs.......This list can be endless though. 

On site laundry facility, water is paid by owner, tenant pays electric, no gas, no pool, very good neighborhood, units are in decent shape.

This includes our primary home mortgage, food, gas, car expense, home bills, cell phones, restaurant budget, entertainment....

They do not last like an electric tank type or gas tankless.

I make sure I'm stocked up on stamps (for marketing), gas in my car, maybe some light bulbs and supplies.  

From the map that looks like an old gas station building and business.I would look for other gas station listings in the area for mom and pop and contact that broker.The mom and pop stuff the brokers that deal in higher institutional type property will not want to help with that.The reason is if the broker is closing 5 or 10 million deals they do not want to put time in on a 200k gas station.Hope it helps. 

The chimney is presently power vented through the wall as there is no chimney.If I add three more furnaces and power vent them like the existing one, I would gas out the first floor apartment.My question is what kind of venting solution is available short of building a four flue masonry chimney?
