If it was an incredible deal and if the seller could assure the issues with the gas/heat on that one unit were ok I would have had the inspector inspect the rest of the property as is and that particular units gas line etc.

A number of brands used in the past have failed so if it is one of them youll know not to attempt a fix.If its radiant hot water there should be a boiler.

DFW is a hot market right now.

But, Texas is definitely a very hot market now with many relocating there! 

Hi @Robin Secord I agree @Al Neal that Detroit is definitely an area on the rise and filled incredible value.

It's heated by a single hot water boiler, which shares a gas line with one of the rental units and a commercial dryer in the basement. 

That means 8 roofs, 8 foundations, 8 interior units that need painting, 8 exteriors that need painting, 8 units that might need carpet/vinyl/tile, 8 hot water heaters or a single boiler, 8 AC or evaporative coolers (if there are coolers, have there been leaks?)

i hear the upper part of oak lane is a hot spot now, is it true ?

Please feel free to reach out to me through BP with any tips on starting out, information on hot markets, investor leads, or just to say Hi.

For the HVAC it is a hot water/stream baseboard, and the units have wall A/C units in them (so tenant pays for usage of them with electricity).
