When using a heat-pump with a central air-handler we will use a ancillary heating core in the air handler.  

v=wbjPiYE-F4YI combine the two approaches with my CORE and EXPLORE portfolios.

It's just not how the financial world looks at investments...CAP is a component of "commercial" residential multifamily...5+ units. 1-4 unit properties are often classified as single family (This is how Core Logic classifies 1-4 units)...The properties are valued by comparable sales method.

Unless you are emotionally attached to your San Diego properties, you have no compelling reason to hold on for future appreciation, when you could be collecting 40x more cash flow now and still get the benefit of appreciation should you ever decide to sell.If you want to build a larger rental portfolio for your retirement income, rather than immediate cash flow, consider selling your former SD residence now while you can still take advantage of the tax free §121 capital gains exclusion. 

Or even go no debt on a core portion of the portfolio to remove any chance of default . 2c)  for syndications and crowdfunding, I limit myself to sponsors that have full real estate cycle experience, and did not lose money in the last downturn. 

I would be very careful commercial in small towns can stay vacant for EVER and a Day.just drive through any small town between Dallas and New mexico.. look down the main street.. nice brick buildings 90% vacant then on the outskirts of town a walmart and the associated fast food joints..the resi might work.. and maybe you change the commerical to cheap storage but put NO value in its cash flow would be my advice unless there is some compelling reason you think those would be leased.. if there was demand they would not be vacant would be my thought

What are the core features you think you need?

I'm not here to start a political discussion but it is against some core "republican" beliefs to step in like this.

If you were setting this up in Detroit that would be one thing there are literally thousands of vacant homes that you could target.. and other older urban cores..

Agree w/ @Mindy Jensen The better option is to build relationships and trust with a core team of contractors and handymen.
