@Christopher Hydrick I would think its classified as investment property
A cheaper option is a non-occupant co-borrower. FHA type Kiddie Condo loan. For blood relatives it was only 3%. Down compared to 20/25%
You can check it online
here is one link

I know you could do them 2/3 years ago
Also smaller bank or credit union may have something a big one doesn't offer

Usually heat rises and the apartment above would pick up extra heat.
Its been a long winter in many areas your furnace may not be as efficient as the other.
Your gas bill has usage ,some times they over estimate usage and not go by actual reading of meter. Just match the bill to the correct meter.
Follow the gas line from your meter if its in basement and see which furnace it goes to could go to both but its doubtful.
I have ran across ductwork that a clown didn't install right and someone was getting free heat and air in a bedroom and bath.

As far as I know the Chance of one exploding is slim,I have never seen it happen.
I would think steam would have to build up from total lack of water and pressure relief valve would have to be bad or full of deposits . you can flip it up to see if it is working.
I have had new hot water tanks fail in less than a year and have had them last 25 years or more and as long as its not leaking I have only needed to replace an element if its not getting hot.
I was talking about electric hot water tanks not gas(gas leak can cause a nice explosion)
