Also we are planning on ripping the oil furnace out and putting in a high efficiency gas so I feel as though I should play hard ball and tell him to take his fuel which legally he can do before closing, if that is the case the PVC vents could go away however that's only worth 200.

Being it is in ND, prices might be real cheap since the oil boom died off up there.  

I associate almost every ad I see on TV and all the stuff that guys try and sell you, like Mark Cuban does...Snake Oil.

How can I know if the oil (owner pays) really costs $8000 a year, and that other expenses are true??

@Kyle Cuppy, will you REALLY be able to turn this "frat house" into a well-oiled money machine for just $30k on top of your purchase price?

Where I am stationed in North Dakota, the market isn't very big and was hit hard a few years ago when the oil industry slowed down rapidly, so I have decided not to invest here but to continue to save as much as I can while I am here and educate myself on REI in order to take action when I am ordered to move to a new location unless I go overseas, then I will wait till my enlistment is up in a few years and start then. 

After months of declining oil prices, job losses, and the subsequent rise in vacancy rates, landlords in Calgary must set themselves apart from the pack – and new regulations around secondary suites might be just the way to do so.

They have earned it with decades in the business.Just  like an investor over the years has tried to develop a well oiled machine so has the broker/agent with their business model.   

@David Flores Yes, oil jobs cycle just like everything else.

Elle Berry Wholesalers are snake oil salesman.
