You'd have to look at proximity to panels, metering, etc there too as you'd have some load (copper wires) to likely pull.It typically costs a lot more to heat using electricity vs NG, so I guess you'd be passing that along to the tenants?

We have self-manged properties in LLCs and in our own name. 

I've yet to hear anything good reviews about using a PM but don't necessarily have the time/desire to mange my own property, despite being local. 

I would not be opposed to managing it myself for the short term but like you said, w/ prop. mang.

Now restricting the investment options of people who have been licensed to trade, advise, and mange other people's money seems doubly foolish.

I have a full brokerage of agents and mange close to 1000 rental properties.

@Albert Ng ...Depends on type of transaction. 

I'm not confident in my response on this one, but I have a feeling that @Rich NG or @Charlie MacPherson would know? 

Early on a did a series of affordable housing multi-families where I found the deal, manged the purchase, renovation, got the financing and put in place management, the cash partner put up the down payment and any money for reno.

I think you need to have property management included in your analysis in order to have some confidence in your calculations (even if you intend on manging the property yourself).
