Looking for opinions about "aeroseal" on a house built in 1924.

The hvac was redone in 2018, but only some of ductwork was redone.
Has anyone had any success with the aeroseal product that supposedely seals all the holes in the duct work and makes it 40% more effecient?
Would you do new ductwork, new insulation, or try aeroseal if you were me and trying to reduce your ac bill? All seem to be similar price. Thanks!

Well this is all news to me. thank you everybody for sharing. It's crazy how we have mischaracterized the word discrimination. It used to be called building rapport, now its illegal. As an investor, you should be trying to do anything in your power to gain an edge, but by these definitions any one who likes me is now guilty of discrimination, even though thats not true.

What are people doing to build rapport with these new laws in play?

@Joe Splitrock offering cash is obviously going to lead to a fast closing, its exactly want the sellers want and its opposite of what investors looking to do multiple deals want to do.

we want send photos to create a relational aspect, so no, I don't see how thats discriminating. it's also what Brandon turner recommends. 

@Jay Hinrichs so you're saying this was all in the last 18 months? I guess that makes sense. I was following the BP playbook of creating an emotional connection with the seller by sending pictures. that's something Brandon turner has been recommending for ages. 

I composed an offer letter for my real estate agent to send out and it included pictures of my wife and our new baby. 

After sending out 10 offer letters, I found out she hasn't been including our photos. When I asked why, her response was, "I can't do that due to Fair Housing Laws unfortunately."

Is that true?

Cash invested: $950,000

bought an empty Bank of America building and redeveloped it for a Starbucks and Athletico.

ok thanks, i'll look into that

The cost doesnt have to be included in the rental, it will be an add on. so people can just pick what they want kind of like an a-la-carte so it doesn't really hurt to offer it ya know?

Maybe, everything I mentioned I got straight from what Airbnb is offering for Luxe.

Does anyone know of any concierge style services that I can use for my vacation rentals in Orlando? Looking to give it a Luxe experience by offering massage, chef, driver, daycare, airport transfer, driver, family care, grocery delivery, and house cleaning.
