@Nathan MillerI like that suggestion, has the tenant thinking of the heat supply not just an endless supply of free utilities!
@Max T. Thanks! Philly is on my radar as well, I'm based in NYC now so it's a quick trip south on the train. Have you worked with wholesalers in the area?
@John Leavelle Curb appeal is tough, the lot is the back house on a shared driveway with basically no yard so pros: easy to manage...con: no room for exterior improvements. The Bennington market is tough since things move very slowly. Good for cash flow though, not too many investors here. Appliances would be the way to the tenant's hearts. Thank you!
@Tawny Bloom Great hearing from a fellow Vermonter. I moved my business here two years ago from the warm west coast and have had quite an education in east coast winter property management (burst pipes, boiler blown, wind/snow damage). What do you mean by "separating out the systems"? The single boiler right now is around 83% efficiency so I think the only option is to have that boiler serve one unit, then buy one additional boiler to serve the other. Right?
