The owner isn't able to provide docs to show that there is no oil tank.My understanding is that newer houses/duplexes won't have any oil tank, but is the $300 sweep worth the peace of mind?

Squeaky wheel get the oil, get on the city council agenda for that month and tell them you are trying to clean up and bring in more houses and increase the city tax base plus those new houses will add to the water and sewer and trash base.

@Tom S. - Have you broken into the Burlington markets at all?

And then there is oil.

If the dollar is in less demand around the world for transactions regarding oil etc there will be a lot larger supply of dollars here.  

Especially if The War in Ukraine stops, oil in the US becomes cheaper and/or the economy slows down significantly. 

Ultimately: I'm trying to make money - so I need to find the market I want to work in, and the best strategy for that market.Here in Calgary the median house price is 525K - but with the price of oil that's going t drop.Maybe/probably there's better markets in the US.  

Looking at the Anchorage-Eagle River-Wasilla-Palmer area.Concerned more about the decline in oil prices than COVID.Any perspective appreciated.A few questions:1.

If you don't plan to enforce it, then get rid of the rule.The entire house needs to be deep cleaned, then you paint with an oil-based primer to seal in the odor and nicotine.

It’s a big expense to me this year but after this year I will make a much bigger cash flow off of the building without having to pay for the heating oil.
