Tobias,

I have contacts in the Miami, Florida market. If you have an interest in that market, PM me to discuss your specific needs.

Ciprian,

I agree with Patrick. I too was going to mention that R-22s are being phased out. The world community has committed to eliminating R22 refrigerants. As of December 2014, the European market already, for the most part, phased out its R22 existing plants. 

Regardless, at some point in time, either now or later in a year or so, you will most likely need to replace the unit. So why waste money to maintenance the unit, when you know you will eventually be replacing it. I would put the money to better use now and just bite the bullet financially and purchase a new unit.

One of my clients is a small, locally and family-owned HVAC company. The company is licensed, insured and bonded and have really reasonable rates. Happy to provide a referral if you want another price quote. PM if interested.

Eli,

I am real estate attorney, broker and 20+ year investor. I also started a nonprofit that buys and rehabs properties. I represent numerous investors, wholesalers and rehabbers. 

So if you need something, feel free to contact me. I would be happy to help or refer you to any of my contact who may be of assistance.

Sorry I missed you last week. Would have been nice to connect. Keep me in mind on your next trip.

Matt,

I also just sent you a PM of a roofing client of mine. Great guy and extremely reputable!

Kortez,

I would need more details as to the chain of title as to any potential defects, including the delinquent taxes with respect to the county's lien rights, before I could suggest any potential remedy.

Given that your friend hasn't paid taxes in almost ten years, I suspect the property is also encumbered with other liens and judgments. This, in and of itself, poses issues should your friend want to sell the property in the future.

Feel free to contact me.

Ken,

Feel free to contact me if you have any legal questions as to Indiana laws. I am happy to assist.

Unfortunately I don't know any good property management or real estate agents in Kokomo. I am somewhat familiar with the market though. I agree with Shawn that Indianapolis is probably a stronger market right now.

Let me know if I can help.

Jayy,

I agree with all of the above comments as to the duplexes. Once you get past State Street on E. Michigan and E. New York Street, the next 10-15 streets get dicey. This area is not developed and does have a higher crime rate. This is what we call "the gap or pocket," as you have probably heard about in Indianapolis.

I am quite familiar with this area as I live in Holy Cross Westminster neighborhood in the 1300 block. E. Michigan Street and Rural Street is about 5-7 minutes from my house. Send me a private message with the exact addresses, if you are still interested in the duplexes. I probably can give you more details since the properties may be somewhat close to where I live.

Kyle,
