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.

Heating, plumbing, and electrical) have not been recently checked, I would recommend having those items inspected for preventative maintenance.

What is your procedure for handling a tenant calling you on a cold Winter day at 2AM on a Saturday saying the heat went out and they have no alternative heating method.1.
