Relocating a Water Heater

[Luke O'Connor]

A 3 unit property that I am considering purchasing has a water heater awkwardly installed in the kitchen of all 3 of the units. Is it a time/money consuming project to relocate the water heaters to a different location, so that I can optimize my kitchen space?

Another option I was thinking about was relocating the gas line so I could move thestove to a different part of the kitchen in order to build an enclosure for the water heater unit. 

I know there are likely a lot of factors involved, but any advice or recommendations are greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
