First, i would not furnish the places, it will probably get trashed, let them get there own furnishings and make sure that the lease says they must remove them from the property when they leave. i would have them pay for utilities, to an extent - have them pay for electric, supply the heat but give them an allowance for certain amount of months ( especially if you have older furnaces and they run on oil heat ) if they go over then you charge them for it. i converted mine to gas with new furnaces, i include heat in mine, but i control the thermostat ( online, thermostat is locked at the house ). i also provide water / sewer and free internet.

Gas furnace/water heat for SFH's.I throw all that out here to ask what you feel makes sense?

All roofs/heat/water are new within last 5 years. 11 units are rented, 2 are vacant, and 3 need to be rehabbed.

Common lighting, trash, water, heat, how is that all handled?

There were major/minor repairs that has taken place in the 3yrs (A/C unit was converted to central heat & air had to be rebuilt twice) among other things.

I still have baseboard heating so even though the ski season would get good utilization, the economics don't work with the inefficient heating setup.French Broad (local power co) is running a program to sell ductless split unit heat pumps at cost and will finance them.  

It's very easy to get caught up in the heat of the moment of something and lose sight of the end goal.

My tenant is planning to move out in 6 months and I'm considering whether to sell now since the market has heated up.

I'm seeking a little advice, I know how to determine ARV but am a little confused on how to comp out a property that has central AC and heat VS a property with window units.

The previous owner paid for the heat and was wondering if anyone else came across this situation and what should I do about it?
