Duplex with Oil Heat
Is investing in a duplex unit that has oil heat on one side and forced air on the other side a good idea? Is oil heat too much of a hassle.
Anyone have any experiences with oil heat and their tenants?

you say "forced air" on the other side. Is this a heat pump (electric)? What kind of oil heat is it, a boiler, or forced air? If the other side is a heat pump, and the oil heat is forced air, as long as the heat pump side doens't have crazy bills, you could switch the oil side to a heat pump for $4-6K. Beware of an underground oil tank for the side you say has "forced air." Provide some more info and we can provide better solutions :)
