I am not an expert on this topic and my comments purely based upon someone else’s explanation when I have asked about the neighborhood gas delivery boxes. I have shown my concern for having those green color boxes but the person explained that they are simply gap pumps to take the gas from the main pipe and push it to few nearby houses. He explained me some negative pressure theory to assured that they are safe as pressure is monitored very closely. He also said that during rainy season, you may find some difference in the gas flame (if using natural gas stove) because some moisture gets into the system due to minor leaks.
Again – all these comments are based upon someone else’s explanations. Get views from an expert.

FB, you did well though considering current market, it will sell fast. But when market is tough, it will be hard to sell such properties.
The house (12k sq. ft approx. - 3 way open with an alley way as well) is listed by the owner directly. I saw it last month and still not sold. Normally, lots in the posh neighborhood with decent schools go really fast. This still sits. There are a whole lot of million dollar houses with excellent view right beside it. So, my guess is, it's the gas line that's the culprit here.

Stay away from any property which has environment concern, if its marijuana , gaz or smoke/fog .. Don't get pulled in by cheap offers... Society here are very health / safety conscious , by chance if u hv to move out for any reason it will be a tough task to get rid of that property

HW36,
This is exactly what I am trying to do. I am not too worried, as I am still living in it and have a quality roof over my head with ample space for my family. Let me hope for the best.
I 'll suggest you need to calculate the loss of opportunity as well. By not selling this house you are losing an opportunity to buy a better property somewhere else. Time is money, specifically in RE. Given your situation, you might have to take a hit of 10-20k which I am sure you will regain it from next one. My few cents. I know its easier said than done.
Next month I am in market to sell my condo (not my primary residence) and reinvest the proceeds in better rental property. I might as well fail in my endeavor.
I know I am losing the opportunity cost, but here's the deal. I bought the property for 325 with 20k down. Now, it's listed for 315k and received an offer for 300. After paying to the Realtor's commission, all I am left with about 15k. Out of this, I would have to pay the property transfer tax for my next property, which comes to about $10k.
Not only I will be losing my down payment, I will further go down with my equity as well, whatever I am left with.
I am now thinking about listing it on my own. There are a couple of services that list the property on MLS for about $450, without the use of any Realtor.
Not that simple.

Investor should hv patience to hold property to get real benefit ( in most case, some get lucky on short time), land and property will give u good return as long as u hv patience.
Home owner: its all abt need and requirement they should not worry abt to much on lose it gain ... Sometime its worth losing to move forward..
I hope u got my point

Please help me understand the situation better.
You bought a property for 325 K, 8 years ago (25 year amort).
Now say you will sell this for 300 K, your actual property price is 285 K (after giving the broker his fee. I assume there is a 1 year / 6 month commitment before you do a private sale without the broker).
I understand that year 1, you pay 100 % of your EMI for interest part and at Year 25, you pay 100% on your principal part.
Can I assume that you will get something like 50K in hand from which you will have to pay 15K or lesser to the broker? By what you are saying, it looks like the 50K (that I assumed) is more like 25K.
If it is 25K, and considering that you payed EMI for 8 years, it does not look good. You might have paid around 1800-2200 $ EMI every month and you get only 10K in hand after 8 years?
