Currently, it is just an open space that I plan to heat, cool, floor, drywall, insolate, and insert piping to make it a 1 bed 1 bath studio.

Currently it is a steam boiler system that heats the entire building.

For an apartment building I bought I wanted to put in heat and air for each apartment rather than every 2 units share one HVAC unit (and I get the electric bill). 

I see it all the time where people will advertise an apartment for rent with heat and hot water included in price, but not mentioned in the description of the listing.

The seller claims that the heating and water was working fine when the tenants were evicted.

(fleurimont, which is the eastern part of sherbrooke). right now i'm paying 875$/month (nothing included) for a large 4 1/2 (new building) on thibault st. which is further from downtown but the property is much nicer. before that i was paying 675$ (heating, electricity included) for a 4 1/2 on rue Grand Monts. so to summarize yes the market is good for rentals and more people are starting to notice. triplex, quad, and 5-plex are especially attractive if you can get the right deal. there's a large ($100 million) project currently underway to transform wellington street's downtown core (link below). something to keep in mind, if you plan on buying near that area (can probably expect some good appreciation as the project progresses).https://www.sherbrookerecord.com/well-sud-project-gets-the-go-ahead/feel free to message me if you have any more questions about sherbrooke, i'm currently closing on a duplex (in sherbrooke) that i'll be living in next year, i'm actually just getting started in the real estate market here but i grew up in the area so i know it quite well.  

I also suggest you turn up the heat on that 20 hours per week. 20 hours a week, frankly, probably isn't enough based on where you're starting.

Dugger Heating and Cooling came through in the clutch to hook up the new furnaces.

There is a floor rating between units, electrical issues (where is the panel for the other unit) heating systems, plumbing shut offs etc, let alone zoning issues.  

The sellers at my last appointment in Muskegon, Michigan were heating their house with their stove 😳What's the craziest thing you've seen?
