Economy runs primarily on oil and gas but is much more diverse now than a generation ago

Being that I’m in oil and gas and that my job isn’t always guaranteed I would like a sense of security that I have a home to go to that is paid for or almost paid off.

I made my arguments that I checked with the city before buying the home, got a rental license approved and drawings approved AND passed a series of inspections, but alas, I had to rip out the kitchen I put in on the 3rd unit on the back, unplumb the gas line and water lines and drain lines I just paid to have put in... well, you get the picture.

Investing is like purchasing a business that is already a gold mine like a liquor store, gas station, plumbing company, or a multi-unit property where you pay someone your money to take over their business.

I end up paying electric and water and gas transfers back to my name between tenants and that is annoying.

My accountant is deducting 365 days of utilities, property tax, cable and wifi, gas for mowing,  etc.

Gas and electric are separate.Anyone have some insight on the numbers on this deal? 

The utilities (water, electric, gas) are all single metered and would be a significant undertaking to separate them out.

After paying 10% state tax and expensive gas/service and the mortgage, how much disposable income do people have left after.......

I have a situation where a tenant, which I’m trying to evict but can’t due to the moratorium, has stopped paying the gas bill.
