I keep my house at 65 deg all year long if you throw in some humidity then it can get to 68-69 deg I live in Oklahoma and it gets over 105 on a reg. if the house is insulated good and sealed up it helps a lot with energy consumption and if the ducting is done well good airflow, also if needed add a few fans to move the air more helps with cooling. 

Some negative press could come up along with the morale battles with yourself.   

So, beside the question that needs to be asked by the passive investor as to whether the sponsor is a fraud, is whether the sponsor has the moral compass to resist the temptation to commit fraud if things don’t go their way. 

Word on the street is that Split systems (common in . . . . a LOT of places other than the US) operate at a lower energy consumption rate per heating unit and cooling unit. 

I have some moral issues with the rent to own system….

And no, NOT on assistance because they worked, and when work you make too much to have such and they had a thing called morale's and integrity that dictated they owed more than dependency on a 'system". 

Watch the gas usage in the winter when the heater is used as it will increase.You could do a schedule for Higher gas and water consumption months. 

This spam absolutely breaks federal law, and any company who specializes in sending out illegal text blasts will very likely have very questionable morals about other things, like fudging their advertising on large forum websites.   

I do think you are morally obligated to give the tenant a heads up of what's coming and sufficient time to find a new place if they can't afford what the new rent will be.

And this is separate from regular maintenance my property management companies took care of and deducted from the rental income.So the moral here is that RE is great but you can’t depend on cashflow.
