The SFR is on oil heat, the tenant pays, so it's hard for me to figure out.

@Jeremy Marshall - as an upstate NY investor who has experience with many of these heating methods(natural gas forced air vs electric resistance heat, as well as gas/steam, oil/hot water, natural gas space heat,) I strongly recommend natural gas forced air over electric baseboard heat.

They indicated that there were no oil tanks on the property. 

I'm currently buying a home and they found an oil tank.

The economy is primarily based on fishing and forestry, which I don't really consider to be sustainable sources of employment in the long-term.

And speaking to an investment consultant of some kind. 400k liquid cash makes you a pretty big fish, I would think.As far LLC/personal, I've seen a few people comment that its up to the buyer.

The broker may be a snake oil salesman and you could turn them in for unethical behavior, but it still is on you to inspect the property. 

How is the market feel now that the Oil price has plummeted and entered a bear market?

Another reason why I would like to move is because I have a 1 hour commute to/from work (2 hours total)...plus rising gas costs and frequent oil changes.
