Paul Sandru does short term rentals for workers in the oil fields, I bet he has good advice for you.

Some had a one car attached garage.They also had a fuel oil furnace, asbestos siding and other issues to start off with. to begin with. 

The house has updated 100amp service, and a oil furnace.

Kind of like the way you can end up with a lemon as a realtor, not to get off topic but an analogy.

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. 

Oil has plummeted. 

If I am purchasing a property with a underground oil tank in nj and I get the soil tested and the results are clean.  

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