I would pass on a retail (priced) deal, you're overleveraged in terms of your time and energy to new projects.

It's likely best to use that energy to find another deal. 

The small amount of energy used by running the fan when it is not needed is a small price to pay to avoid having a mold issue.  

I rather put my energy elsewhere like updating the yard etc.

I’m looking for clients and want to know where to put my energy

Get our guys out to put a tarp over the roof.Meet in the morning with everyone to solve the problem, what to do with tenants, whose fault, where to go from here.You have tenants parking their cars on the lawnHaving unauthorized guestsDoing DrugsHaving a dog they shouldn’t haveHoardersComplainers(In my case…drive by shootings, bullet holes in rentals, thievery)Water abuseDish on roofs when forbidden to have one on the roofAnd so much moreOn top of being ready to take care of emergencies any time night or day, and solving tenant issues.

I know there are incentives or rebates through focus on energy, but with that program we cannot replace any of our heaters since they do not have incentives for electric base boards heaters and you need to replace your heating source with the same heating technology.

They’re very energy efficient.

They are also used when you are investing with other people in the same project.LLC will also increase your paperwork and bookkeeping, and make obtaining loan more difficult.As a whole LLC are great tools to use in real estate, but you need to understand first their pro and con as it is not the magic bullet solution for every situation.

I learned something from your comments that I hadn't seriously considered before:  The multi-year lease I think is GREAT for turnkeys AND for a newer investor who has a full-time job and a family to support may not have the time, energy, resources, or knowldedge to start from the ground up on with out-of-state real estate investment, I can totally see how turn-key can be super convenient and VERY attractive.
