The current landlord for this property is kind and is more willing to pay for replacements on the home which I believe is mainly because she used to live in the home so I didn't really need to spend much for any problems that arrived other than minor things the home is over 150+ years old so it has its quirks.The tough part is that I am paying a bit more in rent for this home but it has a lot more potential than my other unit, it has a good-sized backyard which I'm debating on adding a hot tub or a fire place but seems like a fireplace may be better maintenance and cost wise.

working furnace and large fireplace.

I just bought my first rental property (SFR) and it has a fireplace.

My new rental has a fireplace.

I looked at something similar about a decade ago which was some camping log homes in upstate maine which was a beautiful place but the place did not have power (only generator) and heat was via fireplaces.

We painted the outside, cleaned up the backyard, changed the fireplace, changed kitchen countertops and backsplash, added accent wallks.

And they had taken the kitchen cabinets apart and burned them in the fireplace for heat.....I salvaged some and painted over the burn marks, didn't look half bad....ya can't make it up, right?

The chimney contractor replaced the cap, but requires the branches be trimmed before he can perform repairs on the chimney because it is still leaking into the fire place after the cap was replaced. 

Haven’t discussed pricing yet but probably won’t get as great of a deal on this one but it is a beautiful log cabin with big windows and fireplace overlooking the water.
