If new to this, I'd take some time to get the hang of the landlord thing. 

Try hanging a longer coat or dress.

The property must be in an area that is experiencing at least SOME steady appreciation over a period of time -- the amount isn't particularly important, just that there is a positive, easily-documented-through-comps, widely-observable phenomenon happening that appraisers can hang their shingle on.3. 

Lady bugs don’t hang around after the first frost which was in November.

It might not be the wisest financial choice to hang on to it but I just can't imagine letting someone else take it over.

In either case, it sounds like were hanging onto the larger home and we can help manage.

Come hang out on the Canadian forum though.

I think I ran into someone who doesn't know what they're doing but I'll hang up and listen now. 

. - Install two new high efficiency condensing boilers, and update windows and insulation for better heat loss performance.PROS - a) minimally invasive; b) can provide 15-30% reduction in heating costs (we are told).CONS - a)total gas expense is still paid by the landlord; b) individual units won't have individual control (except for a thermostat controlled shutoff valve for heat/water in each unit); c) AC would be available on with in wall/window units. 2) Try to individually meter each units' gas and provide each with a traditional forced air heating/cooling system.PROS: a)gas expense could be completely removed for landlord (huge)- even tankless hot water could be installed in each unit; b) each unit would have their own climate control.CONS: a) constructions costs of running new gas lines and soffiting sheet metal duct work. b) highly invasive with collateral construction costs; c) future costs of maintenance on multiple systems vs a single building-wide system. 3) An electric based heating system- This is tricky in my mind because of the high cost of electric heat.
