They just have big electrical heating elements instead of burners.

It was 47 degrees outside and the windows were wide open throughout the house and the heat was cranked up to 70.

Currently the property is in good shape as-is and doesn't need any immediate repairs, although I have not done a professional inspection everything was in working order and gas, electric, heat etc... is all new b/c the owner renovated it right after he purchased.

A LOT.Instead they have massive student debt they can't get rid of through bankruptcy thanks to the government.Gaining debt with college is fine as long as you know getting out you are in a strong demand field with strong earnings over the years as well.There are many jobs that are in demand that don't pay much and have little chance to make any substantial money over the career cycle.You need to find the combo of great earnings and a strong demand field.If you don't have these elements you are wasting your money.Why have a huge debt if it doesn't pay off??

I have read that the Gas Water Heater has cheaper monthly cost because it is easier to heat up the water, but the Electric water heater is a safer, more modern route.

I don't look for the "up and coming areas" where competition is already heating up, I look for the areas that will be "up and coming" after that.

thinking 4 foot square.Bought en wells and covers seem real pricey,,,but do look better.Do I need to do anything to control heat inside the one on south face of house?

Even on a calm day you wont believe how much heat is naturally chimneyed out the top.

hate to give this place up because it's a one of a kind property in a very desirable area and I'm thinking it could do well as a VRBO.In a nutshell, it's a 4 Bed, 3 Bath home on a little over 2 acres with:Indoor Pool and Spa with Retractable Roof.Separate but connected Diner / Malt Shop with Fridge, TV and Stereo.Huge Game Room off said Diner.The Game Room is actually a oversize 4 car garage, but it's fully finished, fully insulated, has it's own central heat and air and a full bathroom.Prior owner used this portion of the garages as a showroom for his car collection, we use it as a huge Gameroom.This gameroom has a 65" HD TV, Stereo system, Regulation Pool Table, Professional Quality Fooseball Table, Professional Quality Ping Pong Table and a low end Air Hockey table in it.House also has a 3 car attached garage and 4 more garage bays in addition to the 4 bay garage area we use as a gameroom.There is also a horse barn on the property, but we use that just for storage.Home is near major highways, major shopping, dining, entertainment etc. in the city of Lucas which is North of Dallas.I've seen VRBO homes in Allen that are in the mid to upper 100's per night that look like they are doing fine - I'm basing that on pulling up their calendar and seeing the days they have booked into the future.

Yeah, ride through West End and Cascade and you better be packing heat and a bullet proof vest.
