i'm sorry but I could not resist...!

Heat pumps can yield an effective efficiency over the heating season of more than 100% (in comparison to traditional resistance heating) ... in a nice, mild climate like Maryland, a good heat pump should be able to produce an average effective efficiency of 200+%.

Account Closed  I suppose it depends on the price points your hitting for your resales. entry level I can see that especially with those trying to get back into the game after flame outs in 08 to 2011.my stuff that we do that is move up etc... most borrowers go convential and even pay cash so I don't see to much of an issue..

I would love to try to get the cheaper one at a lower price and do a full renovation which would allow me to custom the unit as I want but I'm resistant because I've heard horror stories from people who did renovation loans where it took a ridiculously long time or the quality of the final work was poor. 

While landlords hate to drop rents, and resist it like the plague, make no mistake that during a downturn your income will fall even if you don't drop rents.Vacancies will increase, credit loss from non-paying tenants will increase, eviction costs will increase, you'll have to offer concessions like free rent or temporary discounts to attract tenants and keep the property full. 

I would not put in sheet vinyl, but would use vinyl planks that look like wood and is water resistant. 

I'm concerned I'm going to run into resistance (some units are $300-$400 under market) and potentially tenants who decide to just stop paying and use the COVID moratorium as an excuse.There are 12 units total.

I liked it because I could improve my lifestyle, while still resisting lifestyle creep and buying two units with one deal.Investing in Duplexes, Triplexes, and Quads by Larry Loftis.

However, electric resistance heating is a big negative, so I agree that replacing that system is mandatory.

(Though admittedly sometimes landlord resistance causes other decisions to be made.
