Linton, welcome to BP (not the oil company).

I currently buy and sell mineral rights in Oil and Gas so somewhat similar.

This can be like oil and filter, tire shops etc... properties with 3-4 drive-in bays Is this a dying industry? 

Good to know people live in Whiting and not just Oil companies.I invest in NW Indiana, but live in Chicago.

The lawyer said around $400).The property can be rented out now, however I did want to upgrade the electrical panel (which is fuse/ with 200amp service/ 100amp per unit), and to change the heating and water, which is currently oil, to electric baseboard heating and put in separate hot water heaters in the units (the area does not have gas, and the lowest electric costs in the country).I want to thank everyone for posting and sharing their knowledge on this site.I would love to hear any feedback on this deal.  

This includes NO OIL CHANGES.7.

The following is a quick guide on how to deal with underground oils tanks "before giving a deposit" on a property. 1- The day you see a deal looks like it's a deal for you, order an oil tank sweep (which in north jersey costs around $200).

I am currently working a Full time Job as an Instrument & Electrical Tech for an Oil refinery.

over here in Vermont I pay about $3800 a year for oil heat on a 3 unit that has decent insulation. so $12,000 for 35 units seems quite low.

For heating... we keep three of the oiled filled electric radiator type on hand in storage, as they have proven to be the most safe and easy for our tenants to use.
