I also plan to install a gas fireplace to be more efficient overtime and was wondering who might have experience on that, like how I would find out if there is a gas line already running under the house I can connect to or how expensive it is to convert and set up my own tank outside. 

@Erin O'Connor Smith, you don't have gas in your analysis.

I estimate the house using about 500 gallons per year which would cost me appx $1200 to fill my 2 250 gallon tanks.There is not an option for natural gas so I cannot convert.

And tenants can use smart home WiFi systems to inform, monitor and control their use of electricity, water and natural gas. 

You can cozy up to the working gas ventless fireplace in the living room.

This is where I'm not sure how far to deviate from the 1% because as long as I'm net positive for the month with all my other expenses (food, gas, general living etc), it could be a better use of my funds to wait in the rental until I have a larger down payment/better ROI deal.

I have a couple ideas, firts one it to continue using the radiators, update the oil boiler to a gas combination boiler for heating and hot water use.

We’re in a pretty nice situation as my roommate only stays in his room, so it’s essentially like my girlfriend and I have our own place.)Car and gas: $6-650All other expenses :$4-500 monthly maxI live pretty well below my means, which has allowed me to get rid of my student loans.

He also did not even realize they were oil fired when he told me they were all natural gas.

I know that electric is more than gas but how much more that it would deter rentals ?
