Interest rates, gas, commodities all up it is hard to see how real estate specifically and all asset prices in general continue to climb. 

It will only cost you time & gas.

((Check chimney liner for excessive soot and cracks)))Chimney may have a clean out door at bottom to clean the fallen soot out of--if so someone must do that every X.If there is no coal there is no heat and your pipes may freeze (renter has no money or his credit with coal company is bad and they won't deliver).If there is no renter there is no one to shovel coal into the stoker or furnace mouth and in winter your pipes may freeze.Some people say Anthricite coal is a clean as natural gas, well in reality it puts a stink of burnt coal in the air outside and there is soot.Check with insurance and see if having a ton (or whatever amount) of flammable coal stored in the basement cost more than, for instance, natural gas heater in the same house.That's all that I know.Good Luck!

We have one on our own home because everything was original when we bought it, and it's been worth it, but took weeks for a new water heater, months for a new oven, 2 months last summer to repair upstairs a/c while we waited for the part to come in, and over 3 weeks for new gas pack. 

Highlights include all-new furnishings and a patio with a gas grill and pond views.

I checked parcel history and last permit mentioned there was "GAS / MECH PERMIT - VC MC" back in 1997.

We have seen this help our processes here in Memphis whether it be on the Gas or the electric side.

What Charlie said plus factor in all the expenses the agent has such as gas, vehicle maintenance and insurance, health insurance, E&O insurance, desk fees, MLS fees, Realtor association fees, marketing, cell phone, etc. and they’re almost certainly losing money on this transaction even with the $800 added on.

They will not give me their names so this is not possible.The actual tenant had national grid come and turn off gas and electric.  

I would bump up some of the monthly expenses like gas, electricity, water, etc.
