To be honest, the move away from NG would really be a matter of $ on the front end.

So, if a property value were headed to the basement, say due to external factors, like a factory being built down the street, or deflation, or for any reason and you had tenants in the buildi ng, but a few left and you were afraid the property might not cash flow, you would give it back to the seller (lender)?

The cash is not there (2% rule) but even if you want to tie the house with a L-O-N-G closing date so you can find a retail buyer, here is the problem.

I will warn you in advance that it's L-O-N-G!!!

I purchased an REO 4-unit that had a single run down boiler and for about $1500 a unit installed NG Rinai wall furnaces in each of the units.

@Rich Ng and all,I actually came here looking for an answer to the same exact question but a little different circumstance.
