Hi folks, Here's a slightly condensed version of my profile:I've been a property manager for over a decade and am now starting my own business that will focus on corporate housing rentals.

Going to condense the story as much as possible so it's not horribly TL;DR. 

HVAC full system - furnace/condenser/air handler will run about $6000-6500 for me for a 3-4 ton.

If you are here in Chicago, you want the option to add a condenser and provide AC down the road.Happy to connect and talk through you specific situation if that would help.

Which doesn't always work, namely if the A-coil is shot which can't be diagnosed at start, or condenser is shot, again can't always tell 100%.     

My understanding of chimney liners is that as furnaces became more efficient over the years, there's less heat going through the chimney and it has an effect on condensation which will ruin the chimney from the inside out.I have helped install a chimney liner on two occasions.

Start with a list of people likely to be motivated sellers. the smaller and more condense the better.once you start mailing, don't stop until you send at least 6 touches every 4 - 6 weeks.Be unique, but don't forget to clearly communicate your value-add in the messaging.

In Georgia, the HVAC company plops down a plastic pallet and puts the AC condenser on it.

I am all about "work smarter, not harder" and so if I can condense a 30 yr. 9-5 job to a 30 yr "choose your own schedule" job. ..that is great. ..or just become financial free in 15 years  and enjoy traveling at a young age with my wife instead of when I'm old.  

Hey guys,Finishing up a flip in Northern Colorado, and debating whether or not to install a condenser for A/C, roughly $5k in additional expenses.
